I guess that best option for the 'millions videos and images' is content distribution/delivery network (CDN):

CDN is a server setup which allows for faster, more efficient delivery of your media files. It does this by maintaining copies of your media at different points of presence (POPs) along a global network to ensure quick client access and the fastest delivery possible

If you will use CDN you no need care about many problems(distribution, fast access). Integration with CDN also should be very simple.
