Q: 

Disable 'Dowload This Video' Real Player Button In Browser

Is there any way to disable the "Download This Video" button from RealPlayer. It seems that when users have RealPlayer installed on their machines, it automatically adds a "Download This Video" button to any SWF that loads an FLV.

Edit: My intention isn't to prevent someone from downloading the SWF or FLV, I would just like to remove the ugly button that RealPlayer adds on top of my Flash content.

+3  A: 

This is a pointless attempt to control something that can easily be circumvented. This is the same argument as "how can I prevent people from saving the images off my site".

There's always a way.

For example: http://www.downloadhelper.net/

I don't want to prevent people from downloading the SWF, they can go ahead and download it. My problem is that RealPlayer plasters a big ugly button over my content.

Ok, then you may be able to put a cleverly-placed DIV over top of the player. Make sure you have "wmode=opaque" on your player parameters.

Thanks! I'll give that a shot.
