Use simple Insert Retrieval methods of Sql. Just save the filename of video in database.

For saving video on server try this...

C#

String guid = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
String path = Server.MapPath("~/Vids/") + guid;
String fn = FileUpload1.FileName;
//Save this filename in database//
String filename = guid + fn.Substring(fn.LastIndexOf('.'));
//this saves file on server Vids folder// make sure it exists first
FileUpload1.PostedFile.SaveAs(path);

After all this you have to play video. For that either use silverlight mediaplayer(rad) or the easier option use the embed keyword as...

<embed src="path" autoplay="false" showcontrols="true"></embed>

Hope it helps...

You can Use Flowplayer for playing the retrieved video:

XML

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <style type="text/css">
        body
        {
            font-family: Arial;
            font-size: 10pt;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <asp:FileUpload ID="FileUpload1" runat="server" />
    <asp:Button ID="btnUpload" runat="server" Text="Upload" OnClick="btnUpload_Click" />
    <hr />
    <asp:DataList ID="DataList1" Visible="true" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
        RepeatColumns="2" CellSpacing="5">
        <ItemTemplate>
            <u>
                <%# Eval("Name") %></u>
            <hr />
            <a class="player" style="height: 300px; width: 300px; display: block" href='<%# Eval("Id", "FileCS.ashx?Id={0}") %>'>
            </a>
        </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:DataList>
    <script src="FlowPlayer/flowplayer-3.2.12.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        flowplayer("a.player", "FlowPlayer/flowplayer-3.2.16.swf", {
            plugins: {
                pseudo: { url: "FlowPlayer/flowplayer.pseudostreaming-3.2.12.swf" }
            },
            clip: { provider: 'pseudo', autoPlay: false},
        });
    </script>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

better to store the files on a harddrive and store path and filename in the database. 1.4GB in 1 field in a db for a movie is not advisable.
