I don't think you can upload video using the Image module. I think Acid free does this, and there is work on a new video module that handles multiple formats.

The best way I have found to serve up video is to use YouTube. They output the code you need to to embed into your post. You either have to allow full HTML, or use filtered HTML and allow the and

tags. The player works very well, and saves on bandwidth.

FLEXINODE or CCK!

You can simplify the process of creating a video

I did this for http://www.epekak.net.my/online/?q=node/22 (Deaf People - Sign Language video)

The video.module is a nice way of inserting a video node (wmv, etc) but the setback is:

- The text for the video is separated from the video itself - means if you click `play' you wont see the text (tthe text is important for deaf person reading the meaning of the sign language video)

- You have to upload into the domain

Advantage - you can link to any video, not just yours, but also youtube.com videos (just enter the ID)

So FLEXINODE comes to the rescue of the hassle - I created a VIDEO (WMV)
- add file (upload the video file to files/)
- add textare (here's the critical part - DEFAULT VALUE is the EMBED WMV Player - must not break the line or the code will not work)
- add textarea (for the transcript or whatever translation or description of the video)

For your insertting video into a story node - simple - just copy the EMBED VIDEO html, and change the URL of the video

The code

Make sure no line break - and wmv but be small letters (not WMV - rename the file extension to .wmv)

What happens is that it uploads the video to folder `files' and the URL is matched, so the EMBED VIDEO works if the URL is entered correctly and the extension also matches

The size is 300 X 334, just change it (for border and for video itself)

I have not tested if the code works also for .avi or if the video extension is still .WMV
