Hosting of flv files

We will need to work out where the files will actually be hosted. I have tested the extension using a /flv file uploaded directly to the Battlestar wiki server as well as pulling files direct from Google and YouTube. We will need to check the terms of service for G/Y if we intend to use that option to ensure that we are within the rules to do this. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 10:30, 8 March 2007 (CST)

I have to see if I can get it the mediawiki upload system to upload certain types of files to a certain directory. I'll explore that right now really quick. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 10:34, 8 March 2007 (CST)

If you upload flv files to the image namespace then whats the point in using advrite? people would just go direct to the source thereby using up our bandwidth and we wont get revenue. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 12:56, 8 March 2007 (CST)
