Have you thought of creating a read only directory and making each of
your revisions read only as well. You could even put a log file in the
directory.

It's old technology, but for videos and large files that cannot be
"diff'd" the only advantage I can see of a Revision Control System (RCS)
is to keep metadata about the files.

I think you need to question your design and goals for your project.
What are you trying to achieve by putting these files in a RCS?
