Best module for uploading videos

ntg - November 3, 2009 - 14:42

Hello,
I'm building a website that will allow members to upload their own videos in avi,wmv,mpg format and convert/display them as flv files.

I've found 3 modules that seem ideal for what I need, but I need to know which one is better from people who have used them.

Which one should I use in your opinion? SWFtools (http://drupal.org/project/swftools), Video (http://drupal.org/project/video) or FlashVideo (http://drupal.org/project/flashvideo)

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
Kind regards
ntg

swftools assumes the video is already in flv format and the video module merely displays any format of video in it's native player-- if you want to be able to convert video, you probably want the flashvideo module. Be aware however, this requires a functioning ffmpeg install which is generally off limits to most shared hosting accounts.
