Hello,
Is there any drawback servings video files through php downloader script on
high load site?
Or just straight link to the videos are more efficient?
Thank you,

Yes, there is. The PHP downloader script will have to stay resident in
memory for the entire duration of the download, plus it's going to take
up more CPU power than apache's own functionality (even if only
marginally). If you intend to have multiple simultaneous downloads for
this, it's going to be a rather large resource drain compared to just
letting Apache handle the download itself.
