Abstract: A multimedia file storage system, a related source-end device and a destination-end device are disclosed. The source-end device includes a source-end storage device for storing an original multimedia file; a source-end decoding circuit for decoding only a part of multiple B-pictures of the original multimedia file to form a source-end representative file; a source-end computing circuit for conducting a Hash algorithm computation based on the source-end representative file to generate a source-end check value; and a transmitting circuit for transmitting the source-end check value and the original multimedia file.

Abstract: A multimedia storage system includes a multimedia distribution device and a plurality of storage devices. The multimedia distribution device splits a multimedia file into a plurality of multimedia segments and monitors the operation statuses of the storage devices. The multimedia distribution device further configures each of the multimedia segments to be stored in at least two of the storage devices according to the available storage devices in the multimedia storage system. The storage device comprises a network access device for receiving the multimedia segments and a redundant array of inexpensive disks for storing the received multimedia segments.
