For example, only paying users should be allowed to view a video.
There is a plugin for that or is it all written from scratch?

The authlogic and devise are two popular authentication mechanisms. Either could be used to restrict access to particular actions based on logged-in status.
If you need a finer-grained authorization system, cancan provides a permissions system.
There are others, but these are quite popular.
