[support] Video in Drupal 7

[Jamie Holly]

For your upload problems, see here:

http://drupal.org/node/97193

If you are doing the video conversions on your own, then media will
work. If you want the server to encode the videos for you, then the
video module is what you are looking for, but you also need to have a
server configured with FFMPEG to actually do the encoding. Some hosts
offer this. On VPS or dedicated servers, it can be a pain to set up,
especially if you want one of the more recent releases of FFMPEG.
