you can't make media player send a refer, so you would have to figure out a work around, we did

Well, there are two simple ways.
1) Allow acess to clients with no referer
2) Allow access from windows media player based on the user agent

Hey thanks Shunga. I got it.
=========================
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([a-z0-9-]+\.)*domain.com/.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://111.222.333.444/.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !(^|(.+*)id=valid(;. *|$)
RewriteRule /* http://www.redirect-domain.com/ [R,L]
=============================
And insert this code in html page, between <head></head>
=============================
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
// Calculate the expiration date
var expires = new Date ();
expires.setTime(expires.getTime() + 6 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
document.cookie = "id=valid; path=/" + "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString();
</SCRIPT>

That solves it if you're only protecting that directory by checking the referrer, but what if you want to put the .avi and other media files under your main MEMBERS directory, which also has to check your .htpasswd file?Comment
