   MediaCore *looks* absolutely stunning. I've been playing with building my own (albeit with fewer features) with PHP/XSLT for some time but it looks like it's already been done :-)

   On the Features page:

   Viewers can upload files in any format to MediaCore. Administrators are notified of the new video submission and can easily download the video, handle the encoding themeselves, and then upload the final flv or m4a back to the MediaCore for display.

   Does MediaCore actually support the encoding of video into web-safe formats (.flv for example)? I see the "encode me" button in the UI but it's not clear how this is achieved. If it's automated are there additional server components that need to be installed (mplayer, ffmpeg etc).

   Thanks!

   Right now MediaCore does not automatically encode the videos, though this is something we would like to add down the line.

   Essentially the workflow works like this (we need to make a screencast for this):

   1. A video is uploaded / added and is posted as "awaiting review"
   2. Once the video is reviewed and an administrator clicks "review complete" then *if* it requires encoding it will go to "awaiting encoding status". An administrator can download the original file (.mov, .avi, .wmv etc.) and encode the file into flash.
   3. The administrator then uploads the encoded FLV through the administrative control panel.
   4. The status automatically moves to "awaiting publishing" the second that the new FLV is detected.
   5. The administrator then publishes the FLV and it is added to the site. If it is an FLV hosted on your own server it will appear in FlowPlayer like this: http://getmediacore.com/view/mediacore-screencast-demo

   You can also watch the screencast showing the administrative back-end at the URL above.
