    Sounds sketchy, but here goes...

    Rip your 'DVDs' to mpeg format (Yes they'll be big). You can setup
    apache as normal and can stream the mpeg. Set up a page that has the
    cover art with a link to print..hell use javascript on the webpage to
    print it. add a link for the video... most browsers will open and stream
    an mpeg.

    Use transcode to rip the DVD's. How do you capture the video of your
    projects? It would be easier and faster to transcode the raw capture
    file instead of reading from a DVD drive.
