Okay. Seen. Thanks for sharing your methods.
I already have my own server (in fact, I operate a moodle site within my university to have more control than the official moodle site offers), and I configured a virtual server site to serve large files like videos, because if I embed them inside my courses the backups become large, as you also point in your presentation.
For the other (smaller) content I use to embed it into Moodle, mainly because I started that way many years ago, but for various reasons I'm becoming increasingly dissatisfied with that approach, and your solution seems to work better. The only thing that prevents me to switch methods is that my current material has a lot of media embedded in a lot of places (questions, mainly) and every present link has to be converted into an "external" link, and this is tedious and error-prone. Will see if I can automat the process somehow.
Thanks again.
Orestes.
