How to prevent downloading HTML5 videos

I would like to show a video on my website and I know that it would never be 100% guaranteed that the viewer could not download the video from my link.

However, would there be any method so that I can make them difficult to do so without using Flash? Is it possible using HTML5 or some other way?

I heard there's going to be a DRM system for videos. I don't know if that's what you want, but it might be a problem solver for you. Meaning you can secure your videos with a password, or require the viewer to be online while watching.

If I'm not mistaken it isn't implemented yet, but they're busy with it.

This is currently impossible via HTML5 Multimedia. You can't prevent someone from downloading your media.

Whatever shown to the user through HTML/JS/CSS cannot be made un-copyable!

And the videos you are talking about, understand how it works:

It gets downloaded to user's pc, and then it is run.

so there is no way without getting this downloaded to user's pc.
