You didn't say what platform your surfers is using.

On anything except Windows as far as I can tell WMV files and Strongbox do not mix. Actually with anything except Windows WMV files pretty much suck and even with Windows there are issues with trying to protect them.

On something like a Mac WMP is a separate program that is called up and given the URL to the WMV file. It then tries to open the URL but doesn't give any referral information so instead of getting the WMV files it gets sent the HTML of the error page. If you try instead to right mouse click the movie and select save target as you will also get the error page instead of the WMV unless you first click on it, get the error that it can not be played and then right mouse click it and save target as to your desktop.

Use MPG files and you will not have any of these issues.
