Keep all videos and photos in SharePoint library?
As an Admin, I promote the uploading of images to a Picture LIbray on our SharePoint Intranet, so my Users can do slideshows and keep their files organized.
When it comes to videos, I tell them to upload to a Document Library.
Questions
1) Is there a Web Part to get a true "video library", with some video interface controls?
2) Is SharePoint compromised when there are a lot of videos on our Intranet? Is is better to have the videos hosted elsewhere and link to the Intranet?

1. Sorry to say, share point doesn't offer any good web part to render videos.
2. Bette to write a custom control with video class in a aspx page
this may help

adiqa123,
Where do I do this? (I need access to SharePoint's backend?)
"Add the assembly to the global assembly cache or to a bin directory that is accessible to Office SharePoint Server 2007."

You need to add it to the application server.... where central administration resides. If you are using server 2008 you can't just drop and drag into the GAC (use a command prompt with elevated privileges)

2. If the video is accessed by a few people occasionally SharePoint can handle it. If the video is accessed frequently the server will struggle and you need to look into getting a streaming media server on a different box.
