Answer 1

JMeter proxy is capable of recording file upload events, all you need is to put your video file under /bin folder of your JMeter installation.

See the relevant chapter of the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder (was: HTTP Proxy Server ) User Manual entry

Uploading files

Some browsers (eg Firefox and Opera) don't include the full name of a file when uploading files. This can cause the JMeter proxy server to fail. One solution is to ensure that any files to be uploaded are in the JMeter working directory, either by copying the files there or by starting JMeter in the directory containing the files.
