Hi,

For playing videos and showing image galleries i like to use multibox[^]. Author home page is here[^].

You can also try divbox[^].

One more thing. If I were you I wouldn't keep video files in database. Database in my case would hold some metadata for video (resolution, category, path to the video file on drive, name, type...).

The only real way to do this, is to have a HTTP handler that accepts a URL, reads the DB from the database, and returns the bytes of the file to the video player. It's far more sensible to store a file path in the DB and use that to send a file from the file system.
