Large video files

I'm considering managing our video files in Bricolage. Currently, we
have some .mov and .wmv files ranging from 5-10MB and some .flv files
that are all around 20MB.

Are there any reasons not to put these in Bricolage?

I used to hear that there would be hangs when uploading such large
files to Bricolage, but not in a while. Give it a try. It's what I
would do.

Best,

Uploading my video files only took up to 10 seconds longer than images.
Publishing, however, as expected, took considerably longer, but without
incident. I published each of the 20MB+ ones individually and each job
took several minutes. I published six 5MB ones all at once, and that
went fine as well.

However, the volume where $BRICOLAGE_ROOT/comp/data/media is located
just jumped from 64% to 67%.

Can I change where the media files are stored so that they are located
on a partition with more space? Otherwise, space will become an issue.

Sure. You can move them and symlink back to the original location.

Best,

How are you publishing these & where? SFTP?

If you are, the new SFTP mover in trunk will cut that time down
impressively.

Matt, we are using SFTP to move files from our internal staging server
to our production server hosted by a third party.

These video files are from the archives, but if we start to publish
more, I may take a look at the latest version of the SFTP mover.

Thanks,

Chris
