Comment(by vik):

 More ideas/braindumping:

 * User creates video item (i.e. fills in the metadata), then on the final
 stage has two options: either upload the video as we currently do it, or
 they get a short-term ftp login which will allow them to upload the file
 (and not much else) using an ftp client. When they have finished the
 upload, they click some button which then puts the uploaded file in the
 correct location, and begins transcoding etc.

 * Use an ftp server with resume capability as above, but use a java applet
 in place of an ftp client. These exist, but I can't find any OSS ones.

 * Use WebDAV. Zope contains a webdav server. If this allows for resuming
 uploads (the protocol allows this; individual clients/servers may or may
 not), then the user can access the plone site (or part thereof) as if it
 were part of the filesystem. Most recent operating systems (winXP, osx,
 linux) have support for webDAV.
