I don¹t think I need to convert the video if it can be played on the site. A thumbnail would be nice though. I don¹t understand the integration with WYISWIG and an editor. I¹m using NICEdit and it works fine for my filtered HTML fields, but what does it have to do with videos? I tried the using the Media module¹s multimedia field, but after upload, nothing. No image to represent the video, no link to the video, no playing option for the video, no download option for the video. I¹m not prejudiced toward one of the other. I just need something that works. Can you see that I am doing something wrong? -- Alex Adams hawkVision see the elephant for what it is A2 Technology Partners, Inc. 831-724-1397 alex@a2technology.com www.a2technology.com From: Ryan LeTulle <bayousoft@gmail.com> Reply-To: <support@drupal.org>, <bayousoft@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2011 13:29:40 -0500 To: <support@drupal.org> Subject: Re: [support] Video in Drupal 7 Do you need the module to convert the video? If not, the media module integrates well with WYSIWYG and an editor (i.e. TinyMCE). Ryan LeTulle

I¹m new to Drupal and am working with Drupal 7. I¹ve 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.
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.
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.
It seems that the Video module is the best choice, but it is in early alpha for 7.x and has some problems.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks, -- Alex Adams
