Answer 1

This is more efficient for you especially if you need to stream a video from a file on your server or even this file is hosted at another server

File On your server:

context.Response.BinaryWrite(File.ReadAllBytes(HTTPContext.Current.Server.MapPath(_video.Location)));

File on external server:

var wc = new WebClient();
    context.Response.BinaryWrite(wc.DownloadData(new Uri("http://mysite/video.mp4")));
