Just perusing the forum, saw this oldish thread and thought of a way to offer a download of the original videos. It might not be elegant but it works.
First zip up each of the original videos. In jAlbum's explore view, where each video is add a folder called, say, 'Orignal_videos' and then mark it as hidden. Now add the zipped video files that match the ones in the the explore view to that folder. For each video add the comment
<a href="../Original_videos/videoName.ext.zip">Download original</a>
Being a zip file jAlbum won't process it and being in a hidden folder the website visitor won't see it. If they click on the 'Download original' link they will be able to download the original video and unzip it.
Example:
Root folder has a video called 'My_video.mp4'
So add to the root folder a new folder called 'Original_videos'.
Using the contextual menu mark the 'Original_videos' folder as 'Hidden'.
Next zip up the original video and then drop it onto the above folder to add it.
Add the comment to the video in the root folder
<a href="../Original_videos/My_video.mp4.zip">Download original</a>
Build the album and try it, It will depend on on the skin used if the comment is added to the thumbnail or slide page.
