Humm, just thinking off the top of my head here...

If the movies were on another computer on your network that only your web
server could access (ie not published directly to the web, but indirectly
reachable) that would mean only your web server could get these files and no
URL would do.

Also if you 'hashed' the file names of your movies and these hashes were
stored in a database that way a link to the video would not be a link to the
video, it would be a link to a command to 'get' the video (if you see what I
mean)

It's only a thought,

All the best
