How to lock a quicktime mov file?

Hello guys,

I goggled for answers but can't find any.

I'm looking for a way that students at the lab cannot drag and drop (copying) a quicktime movie found on Desktop. Yes, they can play/view the movie clip but I do not want them to copy it into their USB.

Is there a way? Like using Terminal? I tried to look for 3rd Party software but couldn't find a good one?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Do they need to copy anything from the lab systems ? If not then you could use an OSX Server to manage the system and prevent them using USB devices altogether.
