Title: Video Storing support for an Historical Media Archive
Post by: rprudhomme on April 29, 2013, 04:27:43 PM
Hello Everybody,

A media-broadcasting client wants to use CMOD as their historical archive media for videos. This solution would be used only for storing and retrieving purposes; and only few people will have access there. IBM CMOD can be a feasible solution for that?. Also somebody knows about a similar solution.

I have customers that store large blobs in CMOD for retrieval later.  As a user-defined format, CMOD should be able to handle large media files such as mp3s or raw video formats.

You'll want to check the Administrator Guide for learning about user-defined data types.
Then you'll want to modify the object size to be very, very large.  It's currently 10MB (ie, 10000KB).  I'm not sure what the maximum is, but I'd aim for at least 1GB.
You'll also want to know about Generic Indexing, so you can produce meaningful index data for the files you load.

After you read up on that, pop back and let us know if you have more questions.

Good luck!
