I agree that it's probably not worth the hassle and wouldn't put too many
resources into trying to find protection.
But why not stream the videos? What about using a php/nodejs script that
returns a unique video url for each request. That way the would be hacker
wouldn't have direct access by sniffing packets to any URL's coming in to
display the video.
