I think I've deciphered your request...

1. user wants to download http://www.mydomain.com/movies/name_abc.avi

2. name.avi does not exist in that folder (abbie: name.avi? what about name_abc.avi?)

3. i want the user to download a movie called "name_abc.avi" anyway (abbie: wtf?)

4. in the /movies/ folder there is an .avi called "name_xyz.avi"

5. user should download the "name_xyz.avi" but the name of the download should be "name_abc.avi"

If you're using unix go into the folder and type this:
ln -s name_xyz.avi name_abc.avi

That makes a symbolic link (abc) to your real file (xyz). No .htaccess necessary.
