On the click to play a video, is it downloading or playing in a separate pop-up window?

It is important to note that what you are asking for is completely and utterly impossible.

Content residing on your server can be consumed by clients. That is downloading. The clients Web Browser will cache a copy of the video in their Temporary Internet Files directory.

A few sites, such as CNN.com, have done everything they can to protect their streaming media. But even that is not safe.

The bottom line is: If you do not want people downloading your media, do not post it on the WWW.

ok let me be more percise to this problem,
look if i show a video clip to the user, the user must only be able to view the video, he/she should not be able to copy the video clips to his system. so should i do for it.

Again....

Impossible

You can make a flash animation that plays the video within it. But this too will be stored on the users machine.
