Isn’t Wordpress 2.6 and 2.7 already allowing you to embed videos files directly in the post without needing a special plugin?
Yes, WordPress 2.7 allows users to embed video files but here we presented plugins which also include additional options such as auto start, online video editor, sitemap and menu control bar to effectively manage your media files.
Ok, got it…
Thanks for sharing
There is another very cool new video plugin for WordPress just been released, this plugin is completely free but has probably more features than any of the others put together.
The plugin is called SmartVideoPlus and can be downloaded totally free at http://www.smartvideoplus.com
oh great… a really helpful compilation of video plugins. Btw, do you know any wordpress plugin that generates Video Sitemaps?
Because there’s an XML Sitemap plugin, but I can’t find any plugin that generates Video Sitemap?
Hi,
I need a video plugin with a playlist or like a gallery(album). Witch one do u recommend?
For most of my clients I use the Flash Video Player (#6). I've found it to be the easiest one to set up and use. It's fairly simple but it just works well. Most of the others (some on this list some not) always fell short for me in some way.
thanks for you share. I was lookong for embed video to my blog and need to submit video sitemap so flv embed is perfect.
Nice information
What about having a wordpress site already running Google Sitemap Generator? Which of the above plugin will help in adding video sitemap in your current sitemap?
