Block all Streaming Media

I need to block all streaming audio/video. No only Youtube but streaming media needs to be blocked in News Websites as well like BBC, CNN, etc. Blocking FortiGuard category " Streaming Media" does not prevent streaming in News Websites. How to block all Audio/Video Streaming in FortiGate ver 4.0 MR3

Wanted to achieve the same using Web Filtering Only without going for " Application control" .

App.Control block the traffic on L7 (regardless of source/website). Webfiltering are a " human" based categorization. So, the best way will using App.Control.

By URL alone, how do you know the difference between a Youtube search and a Youtube stream? Application control analyzes the actual packets giving you more control over content than URL filtering alone (similar to AV).
