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. <br>

<title>Video in Drupal 7</title>
<font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span
style="font-size: 11pt;">I’m new to Drupal and am working with
Drupal 7. I’ve created a custom content type to store videos.
I have the Media and Video modules installed. I seem to have
2 options for working with video.<br>
<br>
First I used the Video module. It uploads and plays okay
provided the file is less than 8 MB. I have changed the
variable to 50 MB in the setup section, but it continues to
only handle <8 MB. It also throws errors when the node is
displayed in summary or full view, even though the video is
displayed and plays.<br>
<br>
Second I tried the multimedia option for the Media module set
for video. There are fewer settings. It goes through the
process of uploading I think, but there nothing displayed for
the video, just a question mark icon.<br>
<br>
It seems that the Video module is the best choice, but it is
in early alpha for 7.x and has some problems.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any other suggestions?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
