Hi there,

What's best practice for storing video and image files for
playback/display on the web? Should they be stored in a DB as binary
files (blobs) or on the file system? What do sites like Flickr and
Youtube do?

Thanks

Mat
 
Store them in your file system and store URLs in your DB. Storing them as
binary data within the DB will put a very heavy load on your DB server.
