From here on out we'll be storing all new video files, whether those are streaming QT video or iPod-ready MP4s, on the server desource.uvu.edu. Shawn just set this up and should be sending me a general use FTP account soon.
The download.php (and, for streaming, refmovie.php) file that we use to force the download of an MP4 is available on this server as Dave Walker mentions.
Eventually we will need to move all existing TV courses to this server and change the URLs in all our uvsc.edu/disted/videos hyperlinks and RSS feeds.
We will also need the _dev_resources txt files on the G drive updated to reference desource.uvu.edu
All video files should be put in a dept/1010/in/last(6)first(2)/media/ folder, e.g.
desource.uvu.edu/dgm/2120/in/steinja/media/dgm2120-04.mp4
P.S. As a note for streaming video usage vs. iPod-ready download: use iPod-ready downloads for most video files. Use streaming only if copyright is an issue, or our audience is unable to download large files with no other alternative media.
