YOUTUBE QUESTION.(please only answer if you are familiar about YOUTUBE)?

i just started putting my videos on youtube and it FREAKED ME OUT when i read somewhere that people can download vids from youtube.

if anyone is familiar with youtube,then you know you can disable embedding of your vids so people cant put them on their websites and so on.

and since i heard about FIREFOX and KEEPVID,iam having a PANIC attack thinking about people downloading my videos.

can people download your vids even if you disabled embedding?

i've already asked youtube this question but they havent gotten back 2 me.

    ya the only way you can protect them is, when you upload them make them private so only your friends on youtube or family members you select can view them.

    go to my videos>edit video info> pick private.

    then only people you trust will be able to watch it.

    otherwise disabling embeding only prevents the person from putting it on other sites, but it doesn't stop them from downloading it, they can just go to youtube and view the video and download it there.

    the problem even if you disable your videos before uploading it, people can still download your video. That has something to do with programming. I'm pretty sure youtube is something about this already. It's just that they're hard up.....

    Yes.

    If you don;t want people to have your videos, I would recommend you don't make them available to the public.

    no, they can not. if you have disabled embedding, they will still be able to save that webpage, but they will not be able to download it.
