 Steve, there is one problem. I want to categorize all the videos but when I go tot he upload form, it shows only the label for categories and there is not option to select any existing categories or add new one. I checked the form.html file and it looks okay...any thoughts?

go to the module settings page, in the "Repository Settings" section, there is an area where you can setup your "categories". Once you enter your categories, save the settings and now on the upload form, you'll see the categories listed and you can assign each upload to one or more categories. Additionally, you can drop a "Repository Dashboard" on the page and use it as a "menu" to allow your visitors to "filter" the repository by categories.

Check out the module admin/users guide, I think it will help you understand all of the options available with the module.

 I am so stupid Steve. I am sorry.. I just started learning DNN a few days and things are slowly starting to make sense for me. I totally forgot about this part even though I was able to implement my mp3 library containing 20K+ files in repository using the same feature. Yes I was able to create the categories. 

I have three main tasks: implement mp3 library with 20K+ files, implement picture gallery with over 25K+ pictures, and implement video library with over 1000 videos hosted on 3rd part hosting sites.

I think I am close to finish video library and mp3 library.  Should I use Repository Module for image gallery or Gallery Module?

Thanks for all you help.

Gallery module will provide a more targeted UI for images, and some nice album / slideshow type features.

Using the Repository module as an image gallery also will work, but without the fancy bells/whistles. However you'll have a more consistent UI across your site.

It's a trade-off and only you can decide which way to go.
