Summary


In this chapter, we learned how to serve video from a local server using FileField and jQuery Media. We also examined some ways to customize the display, such as by adding a thumbnail splash image and a logo overlay.

In the next chapter, we'll examine some methods for file management, which canhelp making video handling just a bit easier. In particular, we'll examine threeuseful modules, including Node Reference (which can be used to link video, image,and audio node types to other nodes), Asset (which gives an easy-to-use interfacefor asset management), and Media Mover (which helps to process and store mediafiles, allowing for such things as e-mail harvesting and transforming videos to a Flash video file format)
