Hi Suno

1) We havent really started scoping that out, but Ive heard of getpaid,
and I will check it out for sure. Maybe you want to lodge a ticket about
it, and/or update the existing tickets for this feature with that info?

2) The size limit is just the limitation of the un-resumable,
un-reconnecting nature of HTTP uploads, via the browser. That is, if a
user has a flaky , or slow, net connection, it seems in practice to
place an uppper limit on the size of video files they can (HTTP) POST
into the system, since only one error needs to occur before that upload
dies, and the user needs to start again from scratch. 
We are looking into things like FTP, to get around this limitation. FTP
seems to work actually, on our tests of plumi 0.2.x

On the backend , the files are stored on the file system, outside of the
ZODB. There is no inherent limit, just your systems' limits. Plumi 0.3.x
will be using the new ZODB Blob support, so that large video files are
inherently stored as binary objects on the filesystem, and dont consume
memory proportional to their size, when these video objects are edited,
or view pages are rendered etc. 

Actually, reading that page of features off the blog page, im not sure
why the word "delivery" is being used. That would seem to me to imply
the distribution of the video by the system , but i guess it could also
mean the delivery by the user of the video into the system.
Probably should be changed to "Reliable large video file uploading by
the user" to be specific and unambiguous. :)

May i enquiry as to your interest in Plumi, and possible uses of it?
Are you are programmer for instance?
