title: Best way to store and retrieve big video files for a web based app?
body: <p>I am making a video sharing site. What is the best way to store lots of big video files, so that it will be fast and performance efficient while accessing them?</p>
  <p>A colleague said that storing as files on hard-disk folder is not going to be efficient as it will be very slow on many read/write operations.</p>
  <p>Someone else suggested storing them in MySQL blobs.</p>
