I think a problem in your future might be the size of your files to be downloaded.

I too am building a site with much video media and graphics available for users to download.

To to this my media needed to be compressed into a streaming format for viewing over the web.

I don’t think your clients will want to wait for large media files over and over again while viewing.

I start with a fine full-featured DVD format then I compress these files using a video editor into wmv files which stream over the web using the Windows Media Player.

I plan to allow free (and fast) viewing of the compressed files and purchase of the full DVDs

So now i get to store two formats for each video offered but as mentioned space really is not an issue these days
