Video
The 2006, with the explosions of huge video based community websites such as Youtube, has shown how video contents are becoming one of the most direct and cool to use web communication approach.
Drupal, as a leading open source content management platform, absolutely needs a good and globally accepted video content approach.
This group aims to get ideas and coordinating efforts between the different people involved in the video content development. The goal is to provide drupal with an easy, powerful and extensible support for videos.
Video module 7.x-2.1-alpha2, what you should know?
Original post : http://heididev.com/video-module-7x-2x-what-you-should-know
I released video module 7.x-2.1-alpha2 version on 11th of Sep. This major version completely redesign the video module and its core, I'm the only one worked on this release and seems our co-maintainers (6.x) had no time to contribute code to the 7.x yet. I'm very very happy about the progress of downloading and using video module. It has over 10,500+ usage now.
In this article I'm going to examine some new features added to the video module.
What's new in video module 6.x-4.2-ALPHA2
On Dec 4th I released an enhanced video module build with many new features. Specially now its supporting HTML5 videos on Drupal sites. Not only they we added number of new enhancements to the module to improve the user experience and many other aspects.
Here are the list of new features and would like to get more user inputs to improve the usability of the module.
Video design variable considerations
I've recently finished a big video project, hoping to be the next big YouTube. I'm hoping they are too. In the process I encountered a host of different challenges as you do with any new project. I thought I'd share some of the critical success variables back with the community. Hopefully, I'll help you avoid some of the growing pains I suffered through.
Video Content Type for Both Locally Hosted and External Video Services
I'm making decisions on how to build a video site. I have tried Drupal 7 but can't get it to work unless I use Amazon S3 and Zencoder each time. But still I would have to upload so much data from Australia as we have thousands of videos to upload and its too costly from here, and then encoding thousands of hours with zencoder will also cost a fair bit. So I can get results it seems with drupal 6, video, swftools and now I want to also be able to include content on sites like youtube, blip.tv etc. How would one do this?
Restrict direct download of the video file
Hi,
I'm currently using Video module 6.x-4.x-dev with Zencoder and Amazon S3.
Is there any way to restrict direct download of video file? My users will be authenticated in order to see the video page but I wonder if there is any way to make the video more like streaming which is not downloadable?
If streaming (with streaming server) is the only option here, is there any good solution that works with Drupal?
Thanks,

Drupal 7 and "URL Video"
Our current site on Drupal 6.22 uses the "URL Video" function in the Video module v6.x-2.9. I am trying to upgrade to Drupal 7 and have spent considerable time searching for the same functionality.
Use case: We have a video conference system that records content and we have developed processes to convert recordings to FLV format and FTP them to a web server. We then create nodes in the Drupal web site, running on a different web server, and specifying the URL to the content it plays in FlowPlayer embedded in the node.
Video Distribution for Drupal 7
We have released a Drupal distribution which is for hosting and delivering video contents. You can have a look and try it out.

introduce a high performance free hosting (for drupal)--sae---a GAE like China project , i just finished deploy drupal 6 there
ok , example first to prove that i am telling the truth : http://trackself.sinaapp.com/ just feel its speed!
[background:]
1.SAE: sina app engine , belong to sina.com (China), it's a service like google app engine ,but provide PHP hosting and mysql hosting and more! well , i think it's better than GAE, because i only know php but not python/java. It declare itself cloud service. And better than GAE, it use SVN.
2.Since it offer php and mysql hosting , drupal can be hosted. But a little hack to install.php , nothing more hack
Video module now compatible with WYSIWYG
Today I released new beta version of the video module, we have fixed lot of core issues on the video module, wiped out unwanted code, formatted code to match coding standards and lot more.
Module Required : WYSIWYG
In feature wise we could add WYSIWYG module support. In WYSIWYG setting button and plugin you can see option to enable video button.
D6 video module
Hi everyone,
I've now spent hours to make the D6 work with zencoder and S3, without any success!
I get "Video submission queued for transfer to your Amazon S3 server. Will be there shortly." every time I upload new video, but it never uploads to S3.
Does anyone know what's wrong?
I can send admin-login if you want to look and the configurations.
Drupal 7: Video Module : Chipin request
Heshan (the maintainer of the Video module) has contacted me to ask if I would produce a series on his module. After thinking a while, I thought it would be awesome if some people who would benefit from that series would chipin to reduce the cost to Heshan, and get the video made sooner. So I decided to start a chipin for the Video module. If you would be interested in that series, make a donation to show your interest, and I'll make it happen!
P.S. - The sooner money comes in, the sooner I will be able to produce the series :)
Broadcast message - Chip-in Request
Still not sure if the message is legit, but when I checked my inbox today there was a message purported to be from the Admin of this group saying:
