AT Video (1.0-alpha1)

ATVideo is a product to handle the uploading and playback of video files within a Plone site. When you upload the video file, ATVideo detects the file format you are uploading and chooses the appropriate playback (Windows Media, Real, Quicktime).

Background

This product was developed during the "Plone multimedia sprint":http://plone.org/events/sprints/multimedia and is being used and developed by the Plone4Artists project (http://plone4artists.org),  and other organizations such as "Liberty Bloom":http://www.libertybloom.com and "Engage Media":http://www.engagemedia.org.

ATVideo is included with the "PloneMultimedia":http://plone.org/products/plonemultimedia package along with ATAudio, ATPhoto and PloneJUpload.

Usage

Add a new video item to your Plone site by choosing it in the "Add new item" menu. You can then upload a video file (Quicktime .mov, Windows .wmv
or Real .rm) which is then associated with this object.

Since video files can get quite large, they are stored on the file system (using ExternalStorage) so that they do not cause ZODB bloat.

Since the files are accessible from the file system, one can use Apache or some other tool to serve up the video thereby freeing up more
memory/CPU for Zope.

For instructions on how to set up WebDAV to facilitate drag-n-drop addition  of video files to your Plone site, please see:

You can also use the "PloneJUpload":http://plone.org/products/plonejupload product to bulk upload video files using only your browser.
