I am building a news website and I will need to have reporters upload a video which needs to be converted to flash and displayed on the article in which it was uploaded. I would also like to have a gallery of videos and maybe even a section with paid video (Thats a whole other ball of wax though).

Any suggestions on how I should approach this and with what modules?

Thanks!

to convert video files into flash flv format, what u need is ffmpeg.
to use ffmpeg, the 1st issue is..whether your host support it?

the 2nd issue u may need to aware ..is the long upload time required (if your user upload raw video then convert after upload).

one alternative is ..convert then upload.

both methods have pros an cons.

We actually host our own website and it's on Debian so I could just install ffmpeg pretty easily. I guess I was looking for more of an approach with modules. I'm seeing the FlashVideo module and the DashPlayer as being pretty nice. Any thoughts? Also can that dash logo be removed? haha
