The obvious solution would be to implement client-side recording, so that
the sender can record a high-quality video before it is sent through the
low-bandwidth link.  Would that solve your problem?

That looks like client-side recording.

I'm confused.  Every video file is a link to the video, you may
right-click and select « record as ».  Another solution is to use
a download manager (I use lftp, but that's somewhat too geeky for most
people).

What is it exactly that you need ?  A « Download » button for each file so
that you don't need to right-click ?  Or a single « Download » button that
downloads the whole directory as a Zip file ?
