Recently when downloading some things on kazaa i went to play it and when it was playing it redirected my iternet explorer page that was already open to a different site :huh: . Im just curious as to how they did this in .wmv and .mpg files. Please reply :)

by putting a url in the metadata comments, with a special prefix, or by using DRM (in the case of wmv's)

How do you get that drm thing? Where do you go to get it and is it free? :huh:

oh, also how exactly do you get it to pop-up your site? :unsure:

Dude, nobody wants sites popping up anyway, especially when you are listening/watching something, it's one of the most annoying things ever, so even if I knew how to do it I wouldn't tell you!! :P

Also, DRM = Digital Rights Management, is one of the other annoying things ever. Nobody wants that either.. :angry:

I agree stop the pop ups. Stop the redirects and for the love of all that is holy stop embedding spyware into the movie files.
