I have a project that needs to play video but not allow downloading.

I'd love to use Flash, but I've seen applications that let you download files from YouTube -- this makes me wonder if Flash isn't that secure.

Must I use Quicktime or Windows Media?

If you send someone the data, there's no way you can stop them from capturing it for later replay. End of story.
