Video encoding plugin for wordpress?

[Socks]

I want to upload video clips, encode and host them on a wordpress blog.

What are my options? I've done some searching but there doesn't seem to be a defacto option here.. Some of them require a Windows Media Player plugin for WMV for example, pretty ugly.

On my drupal site I have FFMpeg encode everything to an x264 encoded MP4 container, renamed to FLV I believe. Anything like that?

What do you guys use?

I haven't found a good option yet.

Still encoding locally and then uploading it.

Good info, can you tell me your basic process for doing that?

I have Boilsoft Video Splitter I can use, or I can wrestle with Vegas again I guess.

What do you encode to, and then what plugin do you use for display?

Found this plugin the other day that takes advantage of FFMPEG and HTML5:-

Haven't had a chance to play with it so I don't know exactly how useful it is but it definitely looks promising.

Highly suggest using a HTML5 ready player and a script that can spit out the various formats necessary for maximum compatibility amongst desktop and mobile devices.

That's the first one I tried actually, but it doesn't seem to kick off ffmpeg for me (though it does generate thumbnails, so ffmpeg is working for that) and it's just spitting the embed code to my page rather than converting it to a player. The plugin owner got back to me already with some tips on debugging, so I'll give it a shot after dinner and see if I can get it rolling. See: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/p...3#post-2642355

I like the look of that one.....

I use Apache and Lighttpd running together so that I can stream videos efficiently.

I also have H264 Streaming Module installed on the Lighttpd.

I use AVS video to encode videos to h.264...mp4
