What do I have to do to enable uploads and playback of video in G3? I'm sure it's something very easy that I am missing. AVI's and MPG's can't be selected to upload. I can't find where those are defined.

G3 only supports MP4 and FLV right now. You'll need to convert your AVIs to one of those formats to upload it.

Doh!
Thanks for the reply, of course.

No problem. We only support FLV and MP4 because we can show those in the browser with a flash movie player, which makes for a better user experience. We may eventually branch out to more movie formats in he future.

Try the latest code (see my link below). We swap in a placeholder if there's no ffmpeg binary available.
