I have been playing around the the video background component. It works great using the coffee cup video apparently stored on coffee cup servers. What I want to know is where I put the video I want to use? do I upload it to resources or create a directory on my server upload them and access from there inside the RSD html element. another issue is video file types MP4 ogg,WEBm etc. How many should be provided?
Any help appreciated

You can do either or. All you have to do is change the source path for each of the video types. If you add them to the Resources, just use a relative path. If your own server, swap out the URL's to your server.

You need all 3 to support all browsers and devices.

An additional question here:

Some of us have experienced crashes or 'almost-crashes' with RSD if the file got too big. If a video is added to the resources, the .rsd file is bound to become bigger than if a video is uploaded separately. What kind of impact, if any, will a video (or three) in the resources have on RSD's performance? Just wondering...
