FAQ: What is SWF Verification?

SWF Verification is an Adobe copy protection mechanism employed by some sites streaming over RTMP and RTMPE.

It is illegal for Jaksta to break any form of copy protection mechanism or digital rights management.

Jaksta will detect these protected streams. Where possible it will try to record the stream as it plays in your browser instead of trying to download it. If this is not possible you will receive an error stating the stream is protected using SWF Verification.

In such instances please use the Jaksta search facility to search for the stream on another site that is not using a copy protection mechanism.
