'How to display video that are stored outside the root folder in asp.net mvc

I have to upload video outside the root folder in asp.net mvc and store the name and path of the video in database, and then display all the videos from that folder to UI. So, please help me here is the code, I am able to store the video in particular folder outside the root directory, but while fetching and showing all the video on View, it is not getting fetched.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UploadData(HttpPostedFileBase videoFile)
{
  if (videoFile != null)
   {
     string FileContentName = Path.GetFileName(videoFile.FileName);
     string extension = Path.GetExtension(videoFile.FileName);
     if (extension != ".mp4")
       {
         ViewBag.fileError = "Only Video allowed";
         return View(Videos);
        }
        if (videoFile.ContentLength < 104857600)
        {
           string Mypath = @"C:/Contents/UserVideo/";
           videoFile.SaveAs(Mypath + FileContentName);

         using (MySqlConnection Connection = new MySqlConnection(ConnectionString))
                    {
                        string Query = "insert into useruploadvideo (VideoName, VideoPath, USERID) values (@Vname, @Vpath, @USERID)";
                        using (MySqlCommand Command = new MySqlCommand(Query))
                        {
                            Command.Connection = Connection;
                            Connection.Open();
                            Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Vname", FileContentName);
                            Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Vpath", Mypath + FileContentName);
                            Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@USERID", UserID);
                            Command.ExecuteNonQuery();
                            Connection.Close();
                            ViewBag.Message = "Record saved Successfully";
                        }
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    ViewBag.fileError = "Video length should be less than 100 MB";
                    return View(Videos);
                }
            }

Below is the code for View,

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "UploadData";
}

            {
                <div class="form-group">

                    </div>
                </div>
            }
        </div>

        <hr />
        @foreach (var item in Model)
            {
            <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-4 col-xs-12 text-center">

                <div class="video-frame">

                        <source src="@Url.Content(@item.VideoPath)" type="video/mp4" />
                    </video>
                </div>

                    </div>
                </center>
                <hr />
            </div>
        }
    </div>
</body>
