What if you store meta data in the database and use some PL/Python/Java/Perl 
functions to store and retrieve video files from the server. The function 
would store files to the files system, not a table. This avoids the need for 
a file server for your application while making your relational queries fast.

Any experiences/thoughts on this solution?
