Here's how I got around the access denied error message.

I set my "video" content type (Admin --> Content types --> video --> workflow ) to auto publish when a video node is created. However, after I create a video node, the "publish" option is unchecked for that video node, although video content type is set to auto publish. So after I create a video node, I have to go back and edit that node and check "publish."

If you have "bypass auto conversion" enabled and the files are already in these formats: mp4, mpeg, avi, mpg, wmv, flv. Then you might run into a problem. So if your files are already in mp4, mpeg, avi, mpg, wmv, flv formats, make sure the "bypass auto conversion" option is turned off in these two places:

1. Admin --> Content types --> Video --> Manage fields --> To the right of the video field, click "Configure" --> Uncheck "Enable video conversion"

2. Admin menu --> video --> General tab --> Check "Bypass video conversion"

That's what worked for me on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit on a VPS.

This is obvious, but just in case, make sure to:

chgrp -R www-data /var/www/files/videos/

chmod -R 775 /var/www/files//videos/

This is a great module and much love to the creator and maintainer and everyone else involved in making it possible.

After playing with it, it's very possible to make a YouTube-like website with this module.
