I had to double check to make sure, I'm not seeing it:
Code:
127.0.0.1 - - [24/Mar/2009:09:52:36 -0500] "GET /flvideo/1.flv HTTP/1.0" 200 4765368 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009030422 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.7"

1 - Set a session when the visitor hits your page. No session, no play.
2- Whitelist the person's IP when they hit your page, for ~30 seconds to play a video.
No whitelist, no play.
Yeah, this is pretty much the best idea* as long as by session you're not referring to a browser session.
