So you have altogether three machines?

I don't understand. Do you mean teachers upload videos in flash format? If so, wenn users view them on-line, the films are served directly from the storage of the server, no database involved. The storage could be a local harddisk or a network "drive". That of course consume bandwidth from the server but the CPU needed to decode comes from the browser and flash-plugin within the client computer.

Thanks for your reply, Visvanath Ratnaweera!

You are right, when I test my system by 60 simultaneous users so that I see the CPU is consumed up to 95%. It made me anxiously about that. In my case, teachers can also upload videos in flash. Yet following thing that i read on moodle web. The moodle system will normally be consumed more than the CPU. I expect the help from you. Thanks a lot.
