Poop is correct.

When WMP opens a movie inside a protected directory your server wants to reauthenticate it like a new browser session. This all started back with WMP7 if my memory serves me correct. The only way around this is to not place your movies in an htpassword protected directory and use a special script to keep people from hotlinking them.

OR

embedding them in an html page as Poop stated should work as well if you want to go that route.
