Thanks for the insight. We do trust admins (I hope so, because I'm the admin at SESP), but encryption at rest and transport is essential to us because we work with sensitive data subject to IRB rules. In fact, when I do the ownCloud dog and pony show to people I show them a simple text file in my account that can't be read with vi when I ssh into our server.
We too are having problems with multiple video formats, mov, wmv, mp4, etc, so we hope this ownCloud plug-in that utilizes ffmpeg will ameliorate these issues and help people standardize on a format that offers the best size, quality and compatibility.
