Answer

Solution:

As a quick fix, HTML5 provides adownload attribute you may use in your anchor tag, this allows you to specify the desired file name of the download. This relies on the end user using a browser which supports this tag.

echo '<a href="'.$url.'" download="desiredfilename">video '.$format.'</a></br>';

At the time of writing browser support is:

Chome: 14.0
Edge: 13.0
Firefox: 20.0
Safari: 10.1
Opera: 15.0

There is no requirement to specify a file extension.

More information can be found online including browser support, for example this W3 Schools Article

Update: This will not work cross-origin, the file must be hosted on the same domain, as such this is not a solution for this particular problem unfortunately.
