video

Hi All,

Recently I have been informed that video module is going to die out and will not be supported in future versions of Drupal. Can anyone please confirm this? if this is true then what module will be used for Video in Drupal 6.x?

Thanks
Vinay

EDIT 2:

While I await good counsel here re. the best way to manage the upload and download of video in Drupal I think that I can hard-code HTML to link to videos posted on GodTube the same as we handle a news article:

Looks as though my answer is here:

Last week I installed the OpenPackage Video module, partly because my host doesn't allow ffmpeg installation and partly because I was happy to have the transcoding handled elsewhere. I signed up on their site and bought 10 hours worth of credit from their site. I troubleshot my way past a number of problems till I came up against this one:

Hi Drupalers,

Rob & I created a full flash solution in conjunction with Drupal as the backend.
We thought it would be cool to share this with you guys.

The application is fully flash and includes a photogallery & videogallery.
You could use it to start your online media broadcasting system alongside catchy graphics.

To view the flash frontend: Media Center (mc)
To view the drupal backend: Media Center (mc) Backend

p>What if a Drupal developer could easily develop Facebook apps the "Drupal way" without having to learn the "Facebook way"? What if Drupal site admins could easily integrate their Drupal sites into Facebook?

To go along with the release of Captcha 3.0 final, I put together a small video tutorial on Captcha, Image Captcha and reCAPTCHA.

We have set up some bounties to help finance the development of OpenPackage Video. Each feature has an amount that must be raised before it will be implemented. We use the ChipIn system to manage donations. If you would like to contribute to the development of one of the features you can donate through its ChipIn widget.

The video recordings of FrOSCon are available now.
Anyone interested, finds the BitTorrent links in the d.o handbook pages [1].
A streaming version of all twelfe videos is available on our website at erdfisch.de [2].

In cooperation with our freelancers Claudia Todt and Kai Thierfelder, who actually did all the hard work with filming and capturing, we managed to produce some nice videos. Thanks to them and all the other people involved, we had a great time heard many interesting things.

op_video-5.x-2.1 is now available from http://openpackage.biz/.

The main highlight of this release is that it is now backward compatible with mysql 3.23 and php 4.3.3 in line with drupal 5 core and also now works with db table prefixes. If you have had problems before, please give this release a try.

Other changes:
'max duration' transcoding parameter
JW FLV Player must be downloaded separately and decompressed in the op_video directory
other random bug fixes
