Are self-hosted videos a good idea? [closed]

This is rather subjective but here is my view.

I have built video galleries used on public and private servers. I use Miro for compression in open source formats and video.js to support embedded viewing. Miro does a great job of minimizing bandwidth consumption. video.js has been more than adequate; I consider it a very good module. Together, they avoid stepping on copyrights of commercial vendors.

As an aside, IMHO public services like vimeo are great but not a wise choice for copyright protected intellectual property. Is your family info, images and videos “intellectual property”? Well, yes, I suspect it is until someone puts it on facebook et al.
