Nice! Thx!
I wonder which module provides the wysiwyg buttons you’re having in your drupal installation? It doesn’t remind me of tinymce nor fck, but it seems the one that wordpress is using too..
Could you help me out on this?
Thx.

I believe that is the QuickTags module. http://drupal.org/project/quicktags

Nice screencast! Stay tuned on the video module project page.
I’m working on a complete rewrite of the module which will make the video submission process really simple.

Very promising news Fabio. I’m not a programmer otherwise I would jump in myself. I have been studying the new Drupal book but think I can best serve the community with videos on features that I use. I look forward to seeing the updates.

I have also recently discovered a module that also makes it easy to include video in a Drupal site. The Video CCK, at http://drupal.org/project/video_cck ,”will create a field for node content types that can be used to display video and thumbnails from various third party video providers. When entering the content, the user will simply paste the URL or embed code.”
I’m trying this on a beta site and it seems to work pretty well even though it is just in beta.

JZ: Anytime you use a wysiwyg editor you may have some problems with embed codes. The editors tend to not work well with the codes. What I usually recommend is to either turn off TinyMCE when you are publishing with the embed code or seek out a module that provides better integration between YouTube and TinyMCE.
