which should migrate? contact videographer to export as 1024X768 HTML5
Video: videos are in a variety of formats -- .wmv .mpg .swf and .flv
The majority (including the link you sent) are .swf files (Flash video). The files are unable to be easily converted to a contemporary format.
While it is possible to include the .wmv and .mpg videos on the new site (like the .swf and .flv files) they are also at such a low resolution (due to the resolution of the "old" street-soldiers.org site) that converting them from the files that I have makes little sense.
Unfortunately the files are 320X240 and 640X480 swf files. They need to be HTML5 videos -- 1024X768
Conversion of batches of multimedia files was not included in our contract. This requires the skills of an audio/video editor.
So it appears that you will need to:
determine which videos you want to migrate
work with whomever created these files to export them in HTML5 and at a resolution of 1024X768
Another option might be trying to upload the videos to YouTube -- it's possible that the conversion could happen automatically there. But, as per above, in order for this to be worthwhile, you'd need to do that with videos at a higher resolution.
These are the media files from the "old" site -- they are on the DropBox. Video files are in the "media" folder. The audio files are in the "sound" folder (one is in the "podcast" folder):

I tried using an open source tool to convert the video you mentioned to HTML5: https://www.google.com/doubleclick/studio/swiffy/
