I am trying to secure a video stream. Right now the only thing I have working is to use .htaccess to ask for a password. But what I want is to be able to scramble the URL so that it is not revealed.

I have seen some companies that use .wax files. but I cant seem to find much info on these.

Also I have created and .asx playlist file, but inside of it shows the actual url for the video. is there are way to scramble that or show a different url?

Open up notepad, put:

http://www.example.com/yourfile.wmv

and save as *.wax :)

Do a search on M$'s site. Clicking the properties under file in WMP still shows the source URL. Cannot give you any other advice since I've never tried to secure any media, it's impossible. You can slow them down and prevent some people but that's about it.

Why not generate one-time URLs?

While you could write your own software to do this if needed, I'd got to beleive there is already some PHP, etc. software available to do this.
