A:
If the number of videos is very large, you will need to move to a more effective storage mechanism than a simple XML file. I'd suggest a database engine (Firebird would likely be suitable for your needs).

thanks fo ur concern but tell me is it true that storing videos and images in a database by converting them into binary reduces the size?

lol - I was assuming you were having memory issues because of issues with a large number of files (large index xml). If your issue is really just the size of the videos themselves, no a DB won't help. In that case, the other (obvious) answers are correct.

Larger hard drive or place them on something like You Tube and embed the videos. Not much choice unless you can use a different comprssion codec and reduce the quality which would in turn reduce the size.
