This is very helpful.  Two more questions:

(a) What software is the web server running and what language?  Is it just flat files in Apache?  Is there some PHP/Java glue?

(b) Do you limit viewing to any class any student or do you maintain per-class access control lists?

(c) Do you control the software that uploads the recordings (i.e. like which directory things are put in?)

Our legal departments interpretation of FERPA requires that only students enrolled in a course may view the recorded lectures from that course. (the recordings include index material, videos, stills of whiteboard and computer material, etc which would be to hard to automate putting into Sakai).

I am hoping to have our students log into Sakai and be able to follow a link from there that brings them to our website and allows them to watch recorded class material for only classes they are in. The web server would be configured to only allow logins from Sakai. My hope is to be able to set this up in such a way that the faculty members who are setting up their Sakai sites only need to add something simple to their sites to enable them to link to our lecture presentation server.
