I'd thought I would post here that I made a prototype cck video field module. Using the code from video module and the ckk link module.

It supports all the video types that video module supports.

The idea of a cck field is that it give one more flexibility with what one can do with video on Drupal.

Attached is the module, and I have a page where future developements will be posted.

http://www.openexistence.com/drupal-cck-video-field-module

It needs testing and error checking. Maybe it can me made into a module on Drupal sometime. Help is appreciated. I don't understand CCK module that well right now.

This is awesome! So cool!

Is there a way that this can keep from becoming a forked version of the video module?

Could the CCK parts become a videofield.module and the video module's node-defining parts become videonode.module so that you could choose to use one or the other (or both). Then all of this would become part of the Video project download so that features would stay in sync and that sort of thing...

Just a thought.

Thank you Eric for your input.
This is a key feature for the Video module.

While your approach can "do the trick" of video linking you will loose cool
features we have on the video module.

I would like something more powerful: some sort of node attaching...
while creating a CCK node with a video module field you will create 2 nodes.
One from the CCK and one from video.
While displaying the CCK node playing apis on video node will be executed.

By using this approach should be easy not to loose the cool features we have on the
video module.

This is in my TODO list and hope to include this on next video module for Drupal 5.0

Is this still being worked on? It seems to me that a) there are a few CCK-specific modules right now that are getting pretty close to implementing everything that Video.module does and that b) this issue is a dupe of http://drupal.org/node/84881 :)

Shouldn't this be closed altogether?
