Since you're doing sequential writes (and reads I assume as you're dealing with videos), CPU usage is going to be a lot lower than with random, small 4KB block I/Os.

I always go with at least 2GB RAM per OSD, since during a full node restart and the consecutive peering OSDs will grow large, a LOT larger than their usual steady state size. RAM isn't that expensive these days and additional RAM comes in very handy when used for pagecache and SLAB (dentry) stuff. Something else to think about in your specific use case is to have RAID'ed OSDs. It's a bit of zero sum game probably, but compare the above config with this. 11 nodes, each with: 34 6TB SATAs (2x 17HDDs RAID6) 2 200GB S3700 SSDs (journal/OS) Just 2 OSDs per node. Ceph with replication of 2. Just shy of 1PB of effective space. Minus: More physical space, less efficient HDD usage (replication vs. EC). Plus: A lot less expensive SSDs, less CPU and RAM requirements, smaller impact in case of node failure/maintenance. No ideas about the stuff below.
