thank you for the assistance. it is a dog training site. the guy is going to have teasers, short videos, to entice people to subscribe to the site. for $99, you get a year subscription, which gives you full access to the full length videos, as well as the question section where he answers questions. kind of like support for the videos like software. most sites sell videos for $50-70 for a dvd delivered, with no question section, so i think it's a great idea. he is going to be adding videos regularly, so the subscription would be well worth it. he was wondering about disabling the videos after 2 days to keep people renewing their subscriptions. that way, you could download it (once you figure out how, no buttons provided) and after 2 days, they would be rendered unplayable, to keep people from redistributing them. it seems like you could place a script inside the video to check the date on the computer before it runs and maybe even tells the computer to not play it or something like that. it would be easy for a technical person to remove the script, and it would not add too much overhead to the video, and require no installation on the customer's computer. that's something that i can come up with anytime, the price i'm getting for the website just covers getting the site up and working. if i come up with that script, i can put it into the videos anytime.

as far as people not knowing how to download flash videos, i am continually surprised at how technically illiterate most people actually are. i just mainly want to get the site up and running, and you have helped tremendously. thank you.
