I also realized that since I have 100's of mobile videos in the mp4 format those too could be downloaded for free by just adding a :81 after my domain name using lighty and bypassing apache security.

I could possibly encrypt every single mp4 link I have on my site using mod_secdownload but that doesn't seem right.

Still looking for that streaming solution.
Many clients using it, no noticable impact on server. If you are running a paysite I doubt you have thousands of people downloading at once anyways. I assure you despite what your host may say this solution should work fine for you.
