Update:
Currently testing out alternatives again because of high encoding failure rate with Kaltura Community Server.

Thanks for all the input. I'm currently weighing Kaltura against using Amazon S3 for storage and something else for transcoding. Video has support for S3 and, as you mentioned, Zencoder. I'd rather just plug up Kaltura and get on with it, though.
Steve, can you elaborate on what kind of bad experience you had? Was it an issue with support? Performance? Code quality? Integration issues? ... And with what versions of relevant components were you working?

@christopher I also tried out and follow the video module progress. It seems like they are making a lot of progress there. It is tightly integrated with zencoder. Might be worth test driving for your purposes as well.

I never used the release in question above. We built an entire POC using the Kaltura module(s) and the Kaltura Community Server http://www.kaltura.org/project/community_edition_video_platform on the backend in 7 days. Community support could use some improvement but the product (especially KCE) is quite amazing.

Hadn't seen that. Thanks Bill, had no idea. But the module page is normal and there is a current recommended release. What gives? Has the issue been resolved, then?

They have an excellent module, very well designed and documented, both for viewing and for conducting business with the Kaltura server. You can try it for free. The only problem I had for several clients was that the cost seemed a little steep at the time (given their budgets), but that may be an uninformed opinion on my part. One client used it successfully for a video contest campaign.

I've done lots of video in Drupal, and I know about the standard approaches. But I'm about to build a site with 1000+ HD videos, roughly 3 mins each. I'm looking at recommending a CDN for this site, and so I've gone ahead and signed up for a free Kaltura account for use with the kaltura module. It looks good, but I'm hoping for helpful input from people who've been down this road before. -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/] -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]-- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ] -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
