You could always just zip the file and stick a password on the archive. Then only let the user have the password once they have registered.

Videos cannot connect to the internet. They are not applications. If you use the same password for every file then its just a matter of time before that password is public knowledge and everyone views your file without "activating it." As Inkyskin was saying you would be better off creating a new/random password for each CD you send out. Then you could only give them the password when they "activate" using your website.
