Solution 1

storing in disk space make your application more faster then storing into db.
so crete the uniq id for each image and store its name and path into database and file in disk.

Solution1 has the exact answer to your Question. Storing Images/Videos in your application folder is always better as compare to storing in DB.

You may assign unique file-names to your Images/Videos while saving them. For Unique names you may use GUID. And then save that file name/path in your DB table.
