The dreamhost post and an email I received at the same time, reminded me of this thread about Joomla as a video host. I also just happen to be cutting screenshots for a powerpoint presentation.
So... Back to the early days of December myfirstmemory was asking about video uploading to joomla. One of the things I mentioned was HWDvideoshare ( http:// hwdmediashare.co.uk/ ) . One of the responses was that it was too ugly to use. Here's how it wound up looking for me: http://k9athlete.com/images/stories/devscreenshots/videoplex.jpg I changed the site back to blue, so I'll have to skin it again, but it's real nice looking, I think. It also does JW player, to whatever specs are available on the player at present. Perl uploader, mencoder, ffmpeg... it's a pretty nice solution. I'm still on a shared server, so I've not been able to get it all up and running... It should handle user generated submissions for myfirstmemory and will be handling them for my site. I know it's a little late, a month later and all, but my memory was jogged and it was sitting right in front of me. I think it's worth taking another look at.
