The purpose of a database is to record and relate facts and answer questions. You can certainly capture information about videos in a database, like file name and location, title size, width and height, description, content tags, uploader, access permissions, and so on. A DBMS is an excellent tool for managing all the knowledge you need to make the site work and be useful.

The videos themselves are best served from a file system rather than from a database - most DBMSs are optimized for large sets of small values and don't have dedicated data types or operators for videos, let alone support for modern codecs and advanced video manipulation. In contrast, a LOT of software is available for processing videos stored as files.
