systems

you'll have same ambiguity whether use carrierwave or paperclip (rails' 2 main "attachment" handlers)

any upload system handles transfer of file data between pc, rails app & db. each of them (from understanding). e.g paperclip creates activerecord object file, saves data server's public dir & creates record in db

code

the question of video 1 of using right processor, rather right uploader:

#app/models/attachment.rb has_attached_file :attachment,     styles: lambda { |a| a.instance.is_image? ? {:small => "x200>", :medium => "x300>", :large => "x400>"}  : {:thumb => { :geometry => "100x100#", :format => 'jpg', :time => 10}, :medium => { :geometry => "300x300#", :format => 'jpg', :time => 10}}},     processors: lambda { |a| a.is_video? ? [ :ffmpeg ] : [ :thumbnail ] }

extra

you'll need use video processor such ffmpeg paperclip:

#gemfile gem "paperclip-ffmpeg", "~> 1.0.1" 

you may have install ffmpeg on system processor work locally (heroku has ffmpeg). allow use video_tag helper:

<%= video_tag(@model.attachment.url) %> 

there's tutorial using ffmpeg paperclip here , another tutorial here
