I found solution using Media Views.
// No debug mode
Configure::write('debug', 0);
// No layout
$this->autoLayout = false;
// Media View
$this->view = 'Media';
$params = array(
'id' => 'my_video.mp4',
'name' => 'my_video',
'download' => true,
'extension' => 'mp4', // must be lower case
'mimeType' => array('mp4' => 'video/mp4'),
'path' => WWW_ROOT . 'videos' . DS
);
$this->set($params);
Don't forget the mimeType, otherwise it doesn't work.
