So far we have great feedback from the community about this module and lot of people are providing suggesting, new features everyday. We need to speed up the development of the video module developments and we would like to provide all the functionalists you require by the module. There are couple more limitation of the 7.x-1.x release so we expect to have 7.x-2.x branch open and start developments there.

What we are going to add to the next release.

    Extract metadata from videos eg. Duration, Dimentions blah blah, and it will compatible with views, so that you can use video duration, dimensionsin views.
    We use standard ffmpeg-php library only
    Support Amazon S3
    Support Zencoder
    Admin interface to see the processing videos and cancel, requeue, delete them
    Pluggable transcoder interface
    Create GIF images as a video thumbnail
    Compatible with Media module
    and lot more...

What are the features you want me to add to the next release and follow up with updates!.

One feature I think would be really nice is a UI for creating presets. You could add a new preset, specify dimensions, set bit-rate, fps, etc. and select to use nice and qt_faststart per preset. I haven't checked out the 7.x version of the module yet, so if this already exists, I apologize.

Cheers,

Antoine

I am curious how you are handling the following issue in the 7.x version:
#1070698: two pass encoding fails if webserver (ffmpeg command line) cannot write to drupal basedir

I just updated the patch and included some notes. Curious to hear your thoughts.

Cheers,

Antoine

@AntoineSolutions, we are completely redesign to the OOP architecture so no longer command line options will be available, all will be method to enable/disable 2 pass or what ever.

Will there be both:
FFMPEG-> Amazon S3 support
and Zencoder->Amazon S3 support

expected release date?

Also, deleting original files after conversion option by field. This will allow me to make two different roles, one that doesn't get access to original file uploads and a paying one that does.

@maxbraff, this version will enable FFmpge and Zencoder with Drupal Public/Private streams and S3. For the S3 support we depends on the (http://drupal.org/project/AmazonS3) Amazon S3 stream wrapper.

Does 1.0 support FFMPEG -> Amazon S3?

Veeery interesting module. I might be moving from op_video module (D5!) to this, and I think I have a common request:

- Auto-generate several (5, 10) thumbnails for the video. This way, if the generated thumbnail (only just one, right?) is not showing anything interesting, you can simply click to select a different thumbnail, without the need to manually upload a jpg. Common users won't be able to create thumbnails from their videos, as they just don't know how to do it. A simple interface to allow them to pick a different one would be more than enough.

Alternatively, and as a light resource intensive method, the 5 or 10 thumbnails can be generated on demand, so the user needs to go to Edit and click the "Generate more thumbnails" button; this way, we only generate 1 thumbnail by default, but others might have more detailed thumbnails.

EDIT:Already available!!! Cooool!

@ferrangil, auto generating thumbnails are available and you can define the huner of thumbnails.

Similar to "Create GIF images as a video thumbnail"...
-When hovering over a thumbnail, load all the preview images of these video and show them in carousel (ajax?). This means not loading an ugly gif (ever) and only load extra .jpg thumbnails if the users wants to preview a video.
This would be specially useful for short videos and also when the number of thumbnails is big, like 10, and not just 2 or 3.

Can you tell me what is recommended to use when the page should go live in a few weeks? I mean, is v2 a real dev-version which isn't working or is it to test and just displays some notices?

A video-upload-integration for youtube, vimeo and some others would be a great add on, especially for d7.

Please let me know the expected release date of Video fro D& with Zencoder transcoders. I am eagerly waiting for this!!!
For time being please let us know is there any way to avoid transcoder option or something like that to avoid errors?

@mori @nisar_ak its really simple with the video module architecture, only thing you have to do is implement the video_transcoder interface for Youtube and Vimeo. I do not think we will provide it with the initial release of the 7.x-2.x but we welcome any patchts too.

Estimate delivery date of a initial stable version (7.x-2.x) is Mid September!!!

My dreams.
I'm building a webtv site; our videos are on youtube. It would be great for us to have these features.

- video nodes management using 'media file selector-plupload' from media module instead of 'file upload'. And so beeing able to use files, or youtube links, or others (S3...) from the media module library.

- get a plugin into views, to build playlists for the player I need : flowplayer or JWplayer. Something simple without php or so : once your view is ok, you choose into 'format' the player and that's done. If there is more than 1 video-node, it displays a flowplayer with playlist on the page.

- get the ability to display video ADS from openx, using OVA from longtailvideo.

- get a little documentation for D7.

- get natively the possibility of matching a few videos from youtube or others into a single video entity.
You know that Youtube is limiting the duration of uploads. So everybody must cut its videos into little pieces. It would be really great to get the ability to stick back all of them and use the video node like if it had only one video. I know, I'm dreaming.

Question - Will there be an upgrade path from 1.x to 2.x for the Drupal 7 branch?

Just curious if the release date is still mid September, especially considering that the Media Module is planning a Code Sprint (http://groups.drupal.org/node/173749) at the end of September?
