Git does not handle binary files well, so it may not be a good idea to push these files to the repository. The problem is that Git can have a hard time computing a diff for these binaries. This means that even making a very small change to any of your video files could result in Git thinking that the diff is the entire file. If the videos are large, then this could have a negative impact on the size of your repository. In the worst case, checking out your repository would mean checking out every version of each video file.
