I'm rebuilding a TYPO3 site to Drupal7. Afaik this is the lates and greatest release. However, it seems as if lots of modules are not ready (yet) for D7. Quit a few programmers promise a stable mature module by the time D7 is relased but all I see is a lot of betas and even alphas. OK, no big deal, I can wait, but the question for me is, where do I wait for? And what is a 'waste of time'?
I want two things with audio/video.
[1] a special audio/video content type which displays all kind of video formats, *including* FLV and MP3 audio. For this and after watching http://www.mediafront.org/dallas-drupal-days-2011-presenting-media I feel that Mediafront (A front end media solution for Drupal) w/ OSM player is the way to go. Have still to learn how thing work exactly but the results were very impressive.
[2] Secondly I want to have an article content type able of *embedding* video/mp3 like a flv flash movie or a sound snippet together with the text of the article. This seems much harder to accomplish. Most stuff is outdated or in beta/alpah fase. A couple of days ago I looked into the CKEditor SWF enhanced Flash embedding plugin (I already use CKEditor) but this was no succes on my D7.7 system.
I would welcome any advice on these two matters. What to wait for / try out? Where lies the future of sound/video and Drupal7.
