I'm new to umbraco and I'm trying to upload avideo on my back end and to post it on the front end. I have read some forums that I can do that with DAMP but I haven't seen any forum thread on how to so it. can someone teach me how?
If the video is just a file (not YouTube) you can just upload it like any file (word, pdf) and select it with DAMP. If you want to display it on your site you'll need to implement your own video player which can play the file.
You don't need a new media type. You can just use the File media type for this. DAMP 2.0 doesn't have any datatypes by default. You'll need to configure this yourself. If you install the DAMP 2.0 Samples package you'll get some datatype examples which you can play with. It also has a datatype which can only select files. You can use that as an example.
How can I upload video using DAMP?

do I have to make a new datatype? or media type to upload a video?
