Hi Manuel,
thanks for the answer!
ZIM would be for desktop use though. That's a definitely a good start, and we should pursue this in parallel. How do you enable ZIM in the Collection extension?
However, my understanding is that ZIM files do not allow incremental updates. With our site in Africa, we can only push ~ 10s of MB per night, so incremental updates are essential. We're also looking for a server-based solution, so that we only need to distribute to our low-power server.
Thanks, Bjoern

Hi Björn,
basically ZIM files can hold whatever content, so having videos in them is theoretically no problem at all.
1st question: Does Kiwix (the most popular ZIM reader) support video? As Kiwix is using XUL, based on Firefox, chances are that Ogg/Theora videos may work out of the box.
2nd question: Do the ZIM exporter (either Extension:Collection or Kiwix' perl tools) export embedded videos as well? When using the perl tools it should be no problem to amend if needed.
