<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>
