You have mistaken Fedora Core, the operating system, with Fedora the digital object repository. “Fedora” on this blog refers to the latter, I don’t know much about the former (and can’t offer any suggestions for your problem).

Now, if you’d like to talk about storing and retrieving video in a digital object repository, I’d welcome that discussion.

Good luck!
