I would like to achieve the following functionality:
1) Media upload solution for audio, video, images. I like the asset module approach for this where there is one content type for everything.
2) After upload, videos should be automatically converted to the flash format. All media should be ready to play with a player like Jeroen Wijering's FLV Player or 1pixelout audio player.
3) All media (audio, video, images) should be also available as attachments to other content types. Players like the ones mentioned above should be used for playing.
Similar approaches (e.g. using different modules) would also be appreciated. But converting all types of media to flash format is a MUST.
I will sponsor the best solution from drupal members.
Please use my contact form for replies.
Thank you

media_mover + asset
Hey Bill,
You can do all this almost out-of-the-box using the media_mover and asset module. You can set the media_mover module up to check for new files that are attached to nodes, that are sent as attachments in e-mails or that are uploaded to a specific ftp folder. You can have those files converted to flash and then saved as an asset. If you prefer, you could also have them saved as attachments to node (cfr the core upload module).
