We have revamped the insert video dialog for the MindTouch Minneopa (9.08) release to provide integration with Kaltura. Kaltura is an Open Source video platform that gives you access to externally hosted videos from sites like YouTube, MySpace and more. Integrated with MindTouch it also allows for collaborative video editing that can be captured through a webcam or edited through uploaded clips. Currently this is only available for people running Trunk. You can get a trunk VM by following the steps in our blog post.
Minneopa (9.08) Preview 2 and later
With the release of Minneopa, configuration of Kaltura can be done exclusively through the Kaltura set-up screen in the control panel.
