Giles, I am not entirely sure what you mean, but if you want lots of small videos for each entry in a directory, then that will be a time consuming job. Creating loads of videos takes a while, but you will use some sort of template in order to keep a flow and consistency between them all. This will speed things up a little bit. In terms of actually displaying the video on your site, I would advise some sort of flv flash player. I use blip.tv
