Prevent user from download video file from html5 videoplayer

I use Html 5 video playing feature to play video content on my angularJs web application. For this purpose I have to include the URL of source file in html, So user can easily access the original file on my server and download it directly. Also a download manager software can fetch the video from the page. What is the solution to prevent user from downloading videos of my website? How Websites like Youtube restrict user access to their videos?

It is not possible without DRM. This is no way for the server to know what user agent is downloading, as user agents are self reported.
