How to disable direct links to download video files?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

Good morning, there is a site with video materials, the task is to make it so that the user can watch the video from the player but was not able to download this file via a direct link, I assume that the task can be somehow solved using apache / .htaccess, but I did not succeed compose a working example in .htaccess .
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
is it possible, for example, to make a special flash wrapper for video clips and already check in it that the video is played on the site and how expedient is it?

google -> hotlinking protection
although all this is nonsense - you can always download it if you wish.

Answer 2

There are no direct links to the video on YouTube for a long time, but downloading it is not difficult. So - whatever you do - the user will be able to keep a copy of the video.

Also check the AllowOveride parameter in the root files and server settings.
