Steve, 

I make video tutorials for clients and network administrators that often display proprietary information.  For the Wordpress training I do, I have the need to embed videos into posts where people can follow along with the instructions so I have a membership plugin installed.

Two sites I've used to store the videos that support ACL (Access Control Lists)

First is http://screencast.com, which is a Techsmith / Camtasia project and you have at least 3 methods to control access plus it supports embedding on password protected videos.  It's $9/month

Second is http://blip.tv and they have the pro plan.  I can create playlists, embed password protected or private videos and there are traffic stats.  It's $8/month

If someone is bent on stealing your video, they can rip the stream with a browser plugin or simply run a screen capture  tool as they watch the video.  The folks at Techsmith have always been helpful.

    I'm having some trouble autoposting from Posterous to a WordPress
    blog. Posterous tells me "The site settings for this autopost site
    don't allow autoposting." (I think they mean the WP site not the
    Posterous site.)
     
    XML-RPC has to be enabled and it is. I've tried giving Posterous both
    admin and editor privileges. Posterous can check the authentication
    and doesn't complain. But still the error.
     
    I set this site up with 'index.php' at root and WP in the WordPress
    folder. I believe I have it configured correctly and I don't get any
    errors when browsing the site. But I'm wondering if that affects the
    XML-RPC situation.
     
    Any ideas?
     
    Peter

    Peter, are both XML-RPC and Atom publishing checked? Posterous might be going over Atom.

    Garrick - Tried it with Atom on and off.
     
    Mitch - if I point to the wordpress folder it says it can't
    authenticate because it can't find a valid endpoint. It does seem to
    authenticate when I point it at root where index.php sits.
     
    I also tried a symbolic link to the xmlrpc.php file placed at root but
    that didn't work.

    Been lurking awhile but Tim Elliott can vouch for my sanity! ;-)
     
    Was wondering if anyone has deployed a secure video streaming
    capability in WP? There are lots of solutions (e.g., Bits-on-the-Run;
    Amazon S3 using a URL encrypting commercial plugin) but in two client
    cases we'll be FTP'ing in .mp4 videos and delivering them on secure
    member pages with the JW Player licensed. The key, of course, is to be
    certain that no one can simply forward the links to others who could
    then access & download the videos.
     
    "Secure Files" looked interesting as a plugin but it's not functioning
    quite right and there isn't much info. We'd use Vimeo but they have a
    strict policy of non-commercial and other similar services charge a
    monthly fee that's beyond either client's ability to pay.
     
    Thoughts?

    That's pretty badass, and just as much as Easy Video Player gives me it
    seems. I might have to try that out. The price is very nice too.
     
    Thanks for pointing to that one Josh.

    No problem, I've been looking for a good excuse to try it out myself.

    So far it's working great. However my posts aren't password protected. We'll
    see how it goes once my first video goes live tomorrow.
