We are currently working on a portal site with a blog. We would like to be able to incorporate videos and images in the blog in a free form manner much like you might do with the upload component of FCK editor. But we would also like to be able to reference these elements in galleries or as fixed size teaser images for the homepage. We want the flexibility to use content stored in YouTube, Flickr, locally in Drupal, etc.

Will the media module allow us to accomplish this use case?

Thanks for any guidance.

Title: Use case assistance » Will media allow wysiwyg?

we ultimately want to integrate media with wysiwyg and inline, so, ultimately, yes.

I was just searching for this exact use case :)
We can already use CCK to upload images, videos, and display 3rd part content. So it'd be great if the user could then position this content in the body of the node. And by the sound of things Media will make this happen.

Subscribe - I'm really interested in this as Drupal's shaky WYSIWYG image support is a real pain when compared to Wordpress.

Does this mean we can now do that using Media on D6 or just D7?

@jdblank currently only in D7, alpha is coming early next week and you would be able to do lot of cool stuff with WYSIWYG and media in Drupal 7.
