Video Link Bait - Protections, Formats, Methods

[JerDoggMckoy]

I wanted to find out if anyone could recommend the best technique for protecting a video on a website. We have been able to secure a private interview with one of the largest manufacturers in this customers industry. Unfortunately the interview was done impromptu with an iphone, but the recording is not too bad. The volume is low, but we will also type out the content of the interview on our blog, right beneath where the video is posted for viewing.

We were hoping to only post this video on our blog, so that people within our industry will link to that page, increasing our link power. But we wanted to make sure that people couldn't steal the video and post it in other places to avoid giving us our link.

What is the best method for accomplishing this?

What video format would be ideal to hopefully accommodate windows, mac, IE, Firefox, Safari, mobile phones, ipads etc.?

Are we on the right track on how to most effectively use this video for our own benefit?

Do you have an editing software, or video graphic software to add a watermark? What about intros and outro's, even if it is just an image?

[JerDoggMckoy]

Yeah, we have Adobe Premiere CS3. Do you think that would be a better idea? Add a watermark and intro/outro with our website address on it, and then publish it on YouTube, Vimeo, etc in addition to on our blog?

Our would there be more power/benefit to focusing strictly on link generation towards that page?
