Kaltura.com the Do-It-Yourself Video Solution?
Some of us are the do-it-yourself types or don’t have a huge budget to implement a solution from some of the major providers of online video delivery systems. Some of us just need to get our hands dirty and some of us are proponents of Open Source and all that it has to offer. In the realm of online video delivery Kaltura looks like the place that these people turn to.

You can even record it straight from your webcam to the post if you so wish.
Open Source Video Module for Drupal – New from Kaltura
Kaltura, an open-source video publishing platform, just launched an open source video module for Drupal, a leading open source Content Management Platform used by more than a million sites. This new module, dubbed, “Kaltura’s All in One” enables Drupal site-builders to easily add video and rich-media functionality to their Drupal sites.
The module is comes with 10GB of free hosting and streaming that can be later upgraded. It was designed specifically for Drupal and seamlessly integrates with several key Drupal features and modules, including CCK, Views, cron, tags and taxonomy, and user permissions. The module is currently compatible with Drupal 6 (a Drupal 5 compatible version will be available soon).
Wikipedia Adds Online Video with Kaltura
Wikimedia is partnering with the collaborative video service Kaltura to start rolling out video to Wikimedia sites. Wikimedia and Kaltura have begun a process aimed at bringing rich-media collaboration to Wikipedia and other wiki websites. The vision of this project is to enable the Wikipedia community to further enhance and enrich Wikipedia articles with rich-media content. Think of this technology as a form of video-wiki software that is integrated into the Mediawiki platform, allowing users to add collaborative video players that enable all users to add and edit images, sounds, diagrams, animations and movies in the same manner as they do today with text. By incorporating rich media, Wikipedia and other wiki projects will be able to further enhance the quality and richness of their content and truly surpass any existing encyclopedia in the world.
