Title:
  Need non self contained service files

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  We need the ability to save "service files" that aren't self
  contained. i.e. Instead of saving all the songs and slides in the
  service file (.osz file) we instead save a reference to the
  songs/items that are in the database.

  In particular, this is needed for media files. If we have a service
  that contains a large video (300-400Mb), saving this as a service
  results in a large file as the entire media file is stored in the
  service file. OpenLP "freezes" for a few minutes every time you save
  the service file as it is saving to a large file. While having songs
  and custom slides self contain makes a lot of sense, large media files
  only make sense if you are going to move that service file to another
  computer. We often have video files, often being used for 2-3 weeks
  and having the ability to not "self contain" the media would make it a
  lot easier to use. Currently we compile a service without any media
  files, and only add the media files live otherwise when a user makes a
  change, it appears things have frozen (and we end up with large
  service files that contain duplicate data already on the machine)

  - OpenLP 1.9.7, All OS's (currently running under Win 7 Pro)
