I seem to recall there being a lengthy guide about upgrading Drupal 5 Video to Drupal 6, but I cannot locate it any more. If I recall correctly, there were a number of rather complicated steps needed to get videos ported from 5 to 6, and now that D5 is officially sending out "This version is unsupported" messages every time someone uses my (infrequently-visited) site, I need to make the jump. Where have these instructions gone?

TIA,
David

As this is an important bit, can anyone instruct me as to how to upgrade from Video 5 to Video 6? Or am I reduced to removing the module under 5 and starting all over again? There are still 500 of us out there under 5...

that is what I did when upgrading from 6.x-2 to 6.x-3 so it is probably your best bet. there is a script some where in the documentation but i didn't try running it.

Here are the list on nodes I pointed in the front page, I removed them recently form the video page :P.

You can use the first one its just same like the 6.x-4.x branch, the difference with the 6.x-3.x over 6.x-4.x is the code base, in 4.x we use OO code, and the video_rendering table renamed to video_files. Feel free to ask any questions you have.

I have don several D5 D6 migrations, but no clue of where the scrips I left. If I found I will post it here.

This issue can be closed as it there is apparently no need for D5 -> D6 upgrades anymore.
