    What is the best way to sell downloadable video products in wp-estore?

    When a person buys my downloadable video I want them to have access whenenver they want but I don't want them to share with anyone else.

    What is the best format for the video?

    How big or small can this file be?

    Thank you

    The terms "downloadable" and "don't want them to share" are diametrical. Unless you embed Digital Rights Management into the videos, and sell license keys separately; there is no fool proof way to prevent sharing.

    The best approach would be to do what brick & mortar stores do; account for possible shrinkage (shoplifting) into the purchase price.

    If you use the native Amazon S3 integration feature of eStore, files sizes would generally be of no concern. If you host the files on your site, you may run into performance limitations related to the kind of hosting package you are using.

    Okay, so once I get set up with Amazon S3 how would I integrate that with WP-Estore?

    I wouldn't want to do pay per view.

    That only leaves url right?

    actually if you upload them as a lightbox then a user cannot download them - that would be better right?

    What do you mean by "upload them as a lightbox"?
