OpenPackage Video is a set of modules for Drupal 5 that enables video functionality for your site. Submitted videos are transcoded to FLV format so they can be viewed directly in the web browser. Transcoding either occurs locally using FFmpeg, or videos are transferred to OpenPackage.biz, transcoded and then returned to your site.
To use the transcoding service on OpenPackage.biz, transcoding credit must be purchased. The price is $1.00 (USD) for one hour of video. Transcoding locally with FFmpeg is, of course, free of charge.
There is a demo on OpenPackage.biz. You can view uploaded videos and submit your own.
Features:
- Auto thumbnailing
- Fullscreen mode
- Total codec compatibility
- CCK field
- Views integration - demo
- Play statistics collection
- Highly configurable, e.g. dimensions, bitrate, frames per second, etc.
The main highlight of this release is that it is now backward compatible with MySQL 3.23 and PHP 4.3.3 in line with Drupal 5 core and also now works with db table prefixes. If you have had problems before, please give this release a try.
Other changes:
- 'max duration' transcoding parameter
- JW FLV Player must be downloaded separately and decompressed in the op_video directory
- random bug fixes
We are available for hire. If you would like us to deploy this project or extend it in an open outsourcing manner, please contact us.
Have fun!

USD1/hr (here) or USD0.1/hr (on openpackage.biz)?
I guess it's a typo here on the price but just want to make sure.
Cheers.
The price was $1.00 (USD) /
The price was $1.00 (USD) / hour at the time of writing, but is now $0.10 (USD) / hour. We're experimenting with different price points.
