I've thought about how to do this... It would be fairly simple using
something like WordPress or a small web-app that basically
masked/redirected your URLs for you. So the link to your video would
look like this:
http://yoursite.com/video.php?id=5
Which would send out a 302 Found header with the following:
http://blip.tv/path/to/video.mov
or:
http://ourmedia.org/path/to/video.mov
or whatever... The point being, you would abstract out the real URL to a
variable (5 in this case) so if your videos ever had to move, you would
not be changing the permalink, but just where it points to.
This is pretty much what Ourmedia does, where a link like this:
http://www.archive.org/download/First_Snow/20051124firstsnow.mov
really redirects you here:
http://ia300838.eu.archive.org/0/items/First_Snow/20051124firstsnow.mov
As an added bonus, your site would log the requests for the videos too,
which doesn't happen if you just link to the videos on sites besides
your own.
