I would like users to play videos from the web site but not download the video.
I don't find a way to prevent the download on the video content node.
can someone let me know if this is possible?

Video's can always be streamed or elsewhise be copied from the website. It's in some way comparable to HTML source code.
The video file is downloaded to the cache of user's computers, therefore easily found.
Maybe some DRM would do.

even if the user doesn't get the download screen, that would work.
streaming video is what I'm looking for but don't yet know how to do this in drupal.

I've not researched it thoroughly but I think if you stream Flash .FLVs it should do what you want.

Even if you prevent caching on the users computer, they can still record it of course - so all you are doing is making things a bit harder for someone determined to copy it.
