To try out a version of Media Mover that is largely pre-configured, I've put together a full site and database that you can download to experiment with.

This demo site is configured to convert files uploaded to page nodes and attach the converted file back to the node. It will subsequently create a thumbnail from the converted file which will be used for display. These settings are all controlled by Media Mover.

Once these files are created, two other modules take care of the display duties. XSPF Playlist is configured to use the FLV file in a playlist. The thumbnail generated by Media Mover is used in the playlist as a thumbnail image. FLV Media Player then takes this playlist and renders inside the Long Tail Flash Player.

UPDATE: I'm moving over to using the API Module to provide documentation. This is all going to go away sometime in the near future.

You can access the Doxygen documentation for Media Mover and related modules here. Note that this documentation is regenerated from CVS nightly, so you should be looking at the CVS 5 and 6 branches, not point releases.

• Media Mover 5 Doxygen
• Media Mover 6 Doxygen
• Media Mover 6.2 Doxygen
• Media Mover 7 Doxygen

FFmpeg can be a pain to work with. It can be even worse to compile by hand. Here's a static version that you can use on linux environments that should work for most file types.

If you need to use FFmpeg on OSX, you may find these instructions and this helpful.

Good luck!
