Place the .mov files outside of your web folders, and write a PHP file
that'll control the outputting of them.
You would link to the .php file just like you would a .mov file, but you
have the PHP check for a session or something to verify that the user
should be able to view the .mov file. If they are allowed, then send the
appropriate .mov headers with header() and then output the data.
