downloading mp4 files in Google Chrome

specify how to configure the server to the fact that he gave the mp4 file to load it in the G Chrome? When you click on the link downloads a file is opened in a browser that is not very acceptable. I was looking for ... They said that you must configure the header, but I do not quite understand where it needs to be done. It is also advised to change: application/file mp4; or remove this extension is quite mimetypes

I also tried:

location /files { 

     if ($request_filename ~* ^.*?/([^/]*?)$) 
     { 
             set $filename $1; 
             add_header Content-Disposition "attachment; filename=$filename"; 
     }

}

, but nothing changed.

What to do? I'll be glad to any advice. Thank you.

I also know that mp4 files can be issued to the user for download, as implemented in savefrom.net

Set attribute "download" like

<a href='file.mp4' download='Very-Very-Good.mp4'>download</a>

I think you have a little bit wrong header Content-Disposition

add_header Content-Disposition "attachment; filename=\"$1\"";

Also you don't need set filename $1; (with my example) it should be removed.
For me such method works fine.
