A great solution I have heard to this is to store the addresses of the video files in a DB not the video files themselves.

re: how to store video file in mysql database

Personally I don't like storing images and videos in a database.
I always have only the name of the file in the db and that is (performance-wise) a lot faster.

re: how to store video file in mysql database

Instead of storing videos in database you should store their URL in database and use them to access your video.
I don't know which scripting language you use so I can't give you a perfect solution.
