Protect videos (at least try to!) from download in flash and html5


Hi guys!
I know this topic comes back really often but I thought I would give it another try and hope that new technology is available or a new JW player would help to solve the problem.

I own a website. I make video tutorials and I would like to prevent them from being downloaded. I know it is not 100% possible. I just would like to make it a "bit more" difficult.

Right now, we are in progressive download technology.
if you click "view source" in the html5 browsers, you can just copy the url of the video.
And if the flash player, any video flash grabber works.

Do you guys have any insights of what kind of tool or code would help to make it a bit more difficult to the average user?

Is the RTMP the only way?

Thanks so much for your time.
