Downloads and not views would be an old wet newspaper on the doorstep, magazine delivered that just gets recycled. Also, someone may share a downloaded video with a friend or two on their portable device so how would you track that?
I think it is safe to model "readership" or viewership based on downloads. Is that a fair assessment?--

All schemes like this fail when played on a portable player, or on any
quicktime player which doesn't honour such daftness (VLC, for
example), or anyone who watches a transcoded version, etc..
And just like every other "circulation count", it fails if more than
one person watches a particular showing.
In practice you'd probably get more useful results simply counting
downloads. The bottom line is that trying to force a model based on
this sort of thing being countable is barking at the moon.
