#D7CX: I pledge that Video Module will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released.
Current Updates
August, 13th 2010 6.x-4.1-RC2 has been released. Please help us test it.
-- Video Module Team
6.x-2.9 Legacy video module with Youtube support, etc.
Module Information
This module allows users to submit videos to a Drupal site. Video module 6.x-3-x and 6.x-4-x provides a CCK video upload field to upload videos with ease. The 5.x module and 6.x-2 version is not CCK-based and supports additional playback options in a single node.
IMPORTANT: 6.x-3 and 6.x-4-x versions will ONLY provide a video upload field for CCK to upload videos with Filefield module support. It does not support Youtube video and others, as this is handled through CCK by other modules.
Video module allows you to upload video in any format, play video in any format, transcode video to FLV using FFMPEG (can be extended to any transcoder), automatically creates video thumbnails, use video thumbnails in video node teaser, fast and very reliable API for converting videos and auto thumbnailing, can be used as an all-in-one video solution for Drupal.
