Hi
From the technical standpoint: Yes. Moodle would even run on a Raspberry Pi! See https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=312419#p1256208.
Pedagogically, highly doubtful. Read the original idea of Moodle here https://docs.moodle.org/en/Philosophy. In simple terms, each given his own Moodle is like coffee shop where each customer gets his own (closed) compartment!
On a practical level, how would you distribute those Moodles, how would you asses, give feedback, collect feedback, give them something to keep, ...?

I don't think I understand your problem. Are you saying that your Moodle, say http://moodle.example.com, has video content which are delivered from another server, say http://download.example.com, and all that works satisfactorily. Your worry is, if you change the second server in the future, say to http://download2.example.com, how to handle the hardcoded links to http://download.example.com, correct?
In that case the script behind http://moodle.example.com/admin/tool/replace/ could be a quick solution.
Warning: That script will display a big warning. Take it seriously.

Hi
Moodle is a CMS for sure. In this case a Course Management System. Who told you that Moodle is a Content Management System?

This "Re the documentation" is a complete side-track. Since I bit it, here it goes:
The question revolves at three levels:
- Level 1: Is documentation a substitute for forums in general?
- Level 2: Can a Moodle Doc (or Docs) replace a Moodle forum?
- Level 3: Would https://docs.moodle.org/en/Video (and its future leaf pages) a sufficient replacement for a dedicated Video forum on moodle.org?
Here is my personal opinion:
- Level 1: In a closely defined technical topic, it could. But practically and psychologically it won't. I know, people google. But the majority can not immediately absorb the information presented and make a judgement. They appreciate if there is a human on the other side who listens to their problems and worries and then gives _the_ answer to their problem.
- Level 2: As said above, in a closely defined technical topic, yes. But Moodle Docs are not defined at all and not organized. It follows the search phrase kind of pages which are only "loosly connected" at best. And then those loose pages get multiplied every six months. Sorry, no chance!
- Level 3. I don't know enough about videos nor about their usage in Moodle have an opinion. Hoping to learn by actively participating in the (future) discussions. Would appreciate if those topics appear concentrated in one place rather than spread out in all thinkable forums.
About critical mass, read what I just said to Marcus: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=313462#p1266941.
P.S. Mary, What is the kind of syntax you use, when you switch the subject by saying:
> Re the documentation, those who know about different video file types on different devices (not me, particularly) are very welcome to improve the documentation on Video
"Re the documentation"? Who talked of the documentation, before you I mean? In mailing lists we change the subject line for this. For example, "Video documentation (was Wasn't there a dedicated Forum ...).

> Putting them in a dedicated forum might make them less likely to get answers.
Statistically speaking, Yes. But the point is, we are not talking about a statistical experiment. Firstly, the sample size is small, to be exact it is one. Secondly, future cause can be influenced. Just go though the contributions of those voices here and those of the people who rated those voices weigh the mass for yourself.
