I tried .htacces & it works on part of the Hotlinking. But it FAILES on another:

Example: If suziperry.tv/vid/123.avi is the File I want to Protect (and all vids in suziperry.tv/vid/ also) I put the .htaccess in the vid folder. If anyone tried to Hotlink they had a NoHotlink.jpg not the Video.

But if url2.com has a Direct Link to the Video, and a User Left Clicks & Saves Targer As, this will then allow him to Save File, as it has a referrer from my Domain (as it is a FULL Path to the Video) If Left Click it displays the JPG...

.htaccess wont work ... I tried all combo's

Any other Ideas? I want to Prevent ALL Holinking inside suziperry.tv/vid JPG, Vids.. Only allow if from my Website.
F*****g great site Mate.!!!!!!!!!!
Wish i could do as well as you with this stuff!
