The main items to be stored are images and video clips but taking advice from previous emails on this list, we will be holding these outside MySql so the tables are to do with loading these, manipulating them, and keeping details on clients, customers and contacts etc. None of them will be large. I estimate that if the largest one exceeds 200,000 records we will be millionaires!
