If you're using Apache, I believe this is possible by adding the following lines to your .htaccess file. Duplicate the line for each file type

AddType application/octet-stream .mpg
AddType application/octet-stream .mov
AddType application/octet-stream .mp4

I normally do this via .htaccess or editing the headers on a php file I want to force a download of (such as when creating PDF files server side).

I'm afraid I don't know if there's a reliable way to do it via Javascript alone.
