Due to the file-size, Google cannot automatically scan for viruses.

Thanks to this, the link you are using will show a page like this:

Virus warning

Even if you then add the parameters from the url of the "Download Anyways" button, you would not be able to proceed since the parameters are validated against Google servers to verify that the authorization was indeed done by the user at the time of asking.

Drive is not meant for video streaming, there are other solutions for it, like Youtube.
