How to maintain a large number of videos on an asp website

I am developing a website in ASP.NET 3.5 which involves a large number of videos. I am using XML to save the links of the files. Currently, I am facing space issues due to large n开发者_开发知识库umber of videos. Please suggest how to overcome the problem.

If the number of videos is very large, you will need to move to a more effective storage mechanism than a simple XML file. I'd suggest a database engine (Firebird would likely be suitable for your needs).

Larger hard drive or place them on something like You Tube and embed the videos. Not much choice unless you can use a different comprssion codec and reduce the quality which would in turn reduce the size.
