Thank you for your prompt answer Colin.
I have a question regarding it though.

My Application will use internet and intranet WOJavaClients to populate the
Database with data, the videos will remain outside the database but
referenced from WO and a WebServer directly serving them. The question is,
can I send the edited videos and data from JavaClientApps(internet) to the
WOserver and then ask WO to store the videos separately? Also, will WO
perform well when receiving those videos?
Thanks again,
