Is there a way to prevent hotlink to movie files with htaccess?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://*www.yoursite.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://*yoursite.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*[Mm][Pp][Gg]$|.*[Mm][Pp][Ee][Gg]$ http://www.sendthemhere.com

might work

not really with .htaccess - movie players don't usually use referrers.

your best bet is to create a system that generates one-time-use/one-IP URLs, or maybe time-limited URLs, then "protect" that generator.

I've thought about this before, and the best solution I came up with is something like the following:

Have an html page which is protected via .htaccess, that html page has an ssi include, the include file and the movie file(s) change names every once in a while (well, the contents of the include file changes, not its name).
