    Thank you guys for answering. I want my URL to make direct downloadable. You guys are suggesting me for php file but i found a solution online. This work.

    I just need to put this code on .htaccess

    <FilesMatch ".(mp4|MP4)">
  ForceType application/octet-stream
  Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</FilesMatch>

    This works perfectly.

    Thank you Guys

    <?php
$file = "www.example.com/examle.mp4"; 

header("Content-Description: File Transfer"); 
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); 
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='" . basename($file) . "'"); 

readfile ($file);
exit(); 
?>

    instead of linking to the video file directly you could link to a php file which does trigger the download for you. 

    <?php
  header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=movie.mp4;');
  header('Content-Length: '. filesize('movie.mp4'));
  readfile('movie.mp4');
  exit;

    With .htaccess you could redirect the mp4 link to your php file. 

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^movie.mp4$ ./movie.php
