Hi, I want to create a website with any videos in streaming, I want to use DivX Web Player but the problem is the protection of my video, I don't want share it. I'm ready to pay a license.

Should the DivX's authors will distribute what I need in the future?

Another Way...

Which I'm doing with my quest is, use PHP to call the file from a non-public folder to be bplay. For example, the files (video) would be out of /public_html/ folder, where as a script in the /public_html folder will call the file to be open and then placed into the player.

This basically allows the file to only be public with the use of that player, and thus cannot be downloaded without a link, which is at your own digression to publicize.

Otherwise, go with SeaBass

DRM

You are talking about DRM (Digital Right Management), which are mechanisms that are used to control sharing of media. If you are doing this for personal use it does not make sense, because you have to pay for it. ATM, DivX Web Player does also not support DRM.
You could use a watermark in your video instead. Of course that won't protect your files from being downloaded by others, but it would make it apparent for every instance of one of your files, that it is from you, given your watermark is unique :)
