Hi Daniel,
If you are expecting your videos to get a lot of hits and from multiple
locations around the world, a better solution than hosting directly within
DSpace would be AWS Cloudfront and simply place links and metadata within
DSpace (you would incur AWS bandwidth and storage costs however) or of course
YouTube (assuming you want the videos to be public).
We did some work a good while ago now to support submission of web links to
DSpace within the XMLUI version of DSpace, see
http://developer.edina.ac.uk/projects/jorumdspace/wiki/Web_link_support
We also created package preview that recognised movie content and used a player
to view the video, as an example see:
http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/bitstream/handle/123456789/1154/PreviewIndexBitstream?sequence=19
If you want to upload the videos directly to DSpace (and using the XMLUI),
remember to increase the max upload size and also be careful about session
timeouts if submitting via the web interface.
You could modify the landing page of an item to display a video player e.g. the
JW Player (http://www.longtailvideo.com/).
If you want to submit a lot in a batch, you could use the the command line
package ingester (if you created packages for your videos e.g. METS). I
created a command line Groovy script that wraps around the
"org.dspace.app.packager.Packager" command line ingester which submits packages
from a directory using a thread pool to increase efficiency - happy to share
this if you need it.
Hope that helps
Gareth
