Something along the lines of the Video module?

Video module allows you to upload video in any format, play video in any format, transcode video to H.246, Theora, VP8 using Zencoder or FFMPEG automatically creates video thumbnails, stream videos from cloud, HTML5 videos with mobile device playback compatibility. Very reliable API for converting videos and auto thumbnail, embed video to node body using WYSIWYG module (D7 only) and many more.

Another viable option is the MediaElement.js module. I've had great success with it, and it's HTML5 too! If your site is on Drupal 7 of course. This module also does sound files as well.

  • WHat is its benefit? Does it mean I do not need a video transcoder? I am looking for self hosted video transcoding option. There is ffmpeg, but not all hostings support it.

  • But it is not straight forward to install it. I saw it, but did not understand how to install the community edition.
