Migrate videos to mp4

1 Requirements

Migration Script for Video Files
It should be possible to use (already) converted mp4 files in media objects easily.

• The files will be converted by some external automation script (not part of this feature) and be put into the original subdirecories of the media objects.
• Now a script should be implemented, that works through all media object directory and looks if corresponding mp4 files are available (same filename as previous files, but using suffix mp4).
• If a converted file is available, the script will make the necessary changes in the ILIAS database that ensure the usage of the new files in the content.

Killing, Alexander [alex], 21 Aug 2015: Since this is a "one time migration" script and quite patchy, we do not include this in the ILIAS standard release.
