This is the open source solution that I like and not that difficult to accomplish. Plus there are couple of commercial solutions. Video platforms like Youtube and others, have their own solutions for these kinds of problems. Other good thing about it is, on browsers that have zero HTML5 support, it will fall back to flash and play your video with flash. Even if the user downloads your video pieces to their computer, it will be encrypted and won't work without your server and site. When user stops the video, it will stop streaming/downloading that 10 second piece of video and when you start, it will only stream/download as you need. It will be decrypted by video.js HLS source handler as user plays it. Now you will have a video platform with on demand download and encrypted.

So when we do conversion, that 5 minute video becomes 30 videos, each 10 seconds and they will all have extension of. m3u8 file, which is a playlist and bunch of 10 second videos.

We will also be using video-js open source production ready library as our player and some of its plugins to make HLS work on most browsers. Since then, it has evolved and is now supported by many browsers and mobile. It's a streaming protocol implemented by Apple. One I will be explaining here is HTTP Live Streaming (also known as HLS). Here I will walk you through how to solve this issue. This has forced most video providers or video hosting sites to make transition to HTML5 video/HLS. However, flash is not supported on mobile phones and also browsers are dropping support for it one by one. It can be costly, but it can solve this issue to some extend. Flash solves this problem with DRM software integration. Main issue is that HTML5 video, by itself has not much of protection against unwanted downloads, therefore copyrighted videos can be downloaded with some tools or even on browser itself most of the time. As every emerging technology, it also has downsides. Today, web world has evolved so much that most of the web has been dropping flash support and HTML5 video/HLS is becoming de-facto standard technology for streaming.
