I stopped reading at this point, due to lack of interest.
Then I started again.

You could do link expirations with an auto-generated URL to mask
the actual location, or could even create a dynamic symlink or copy on
the server itself. Have it expire and regenerate a new link every 15
minutes.
To stop people from remotely-linking the video, disable hotlinking
of that file (or type) in Apache.

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.
