Create a session for that user. Convert videos to .flv and then create an flv player in Macromedia Flash. Allow only authenticated users to access this player. To play the correct video, you can pass encrypted/encoded variable to your flv player containing the url of that video. I've used this technique to prevent not so technical user from downloading pictures and movie from the gallery of one of my project. This is not a 100% solution though, maybe an on demand streaming server with proper authentication will do :-).

So number of users increases over a period of time. I'm not sure if I can integrate the database to the .htaccess :) Thanks!
