Thanks so much to Michael and everyone from WP for answering questions.

I just want to make sure that I’m clear: VideoPress, either on WP.com or in the WP.org versions will work with BuddyPress so that community members can upload their own videos.

thanks in advance,

encoding.com has a free VideoPress plugin that you install on your WP blog (i.e. hosted on your own server) so you don’t need find someone to install it. The only downside (as far as I can tell) is that you must encode your videos with encoding.com. When the plugin is installed, a small icon appears and asks you a few questions, then the encoding is done on their servers. I’ve checked a few encoding services, doesn’t seem to any others with a Videopress. If there are pls post them.

Folks on wordpress.org can achieve the same by just downloading a video plugin. I use Viper’s Video Quicktags plugin, you can find it in wordpress.org site or from your self hosted wordpress.org install by going to Plugins –> Add New and typing the plugin name. This is a great plugin and it allows you to configure how the videos are displayed (width, height, colors, alignment on the page) and much more. I’ve added a post on how to get this done and examplles on my site as well (www.foscode.com). Hope this helps the folks out there with .org self hosting (it sure helped me and save me tons of time). By the way, after installing this plugin you’ll be able to embed the video just as easy as this:

VideoPress isn’t currently designed to do this; no.

Is there an option in VideoPress to allow your users to upload videos as well? I am considering WP+BuddyPress+VideoPress as a transitional solution from Ning. I am researching other alternatives as well, but have grown really comfortable developing in WP.

Thanks!

Thanks Robert…as evidenced by someone rating my questions negatively and reviewing tons of questions on forums…it seems that wp.com’ers get attitude and are not as helpful when you talk about .org and such. I appreciate your direction.

The key to our request is to embed code that others use to put on their sites have the domain of the site rather than youtube, vimeo or wordpress.com (only because the site is not on the .com platform). This small difference in where they are hosted makes a big difference in SEO.

Thanks again for you taking the time to answer my concerns.

You don’t have to host them on wp.com if you run your own WPMU and then install the video framework plugin and set up the transcoding service. But to get that set up, your techies would need to understand what they are doing.

@Ryan – I would say it’s not super hard — the documentation needs to be improved, of course, but it can be done by someone with good understanding of running WP or WPMU and reading the posts and asking for help if you get stuck

@Glen – what problem are you having? I have the video framework running with WPMU 2.8.x and have put some tips for techies who need to build the components. Are you getting some particular error?

“The key issue is that I want to have the share function link back to the domain that is referencing the video”

If you host your own WPMU with the video framework, then the “links” would point back to your domain.
