[ Feature request ] Import video #251

When you add a list of videos to import , videos takes sometimes longer time to download then encode . Can you add an option so the download can go on background and be stored on /videos .

This will speed up the process of encoding , and the queue will be way faster . Otherwise the video's download time will be fasting encoding time after each encode .

The problem to download before the process is because is very common you make a list of hundreds of movies on encoder. if each movie has 2GB size, you can easily reach terabytes of disk usage, and many servers do not have this capacity and will have the disk full.

For example, we can import a full channel with many videos, maybe thousands, so a safer way is to download a video only when we free some space.

maybe in the future, we can download the next video while we are encoding,

But you know very well that , importing a video , the output will be higher then the input anyway ( transcoding it to more then 1 resolution , 3 for example )

So the disk usage at the end , in anyway will be higher then what you downloaded .

The solution you gave is really good yes , download 1 or 2 videos while the previous one is encoding sound good , but still not perfect , because if the video we're transocoding is only 2mn , and the next one is 1h , in 2mn you wont be able to download the 1h video .

Would be good to add an option ( even if hard coded ) , but at the least the webmasters could customize .
