What would be cool if we could take uploaded video files and incorporate transcoding on the downloads into flash like YouTube, some great articles out there,

I've installed your program which I think rocks, but I'd consider paying someone to modify it so videos can be converted on the down load like Youtube and where we can use the Amazon.com S3 for storage and bandwidth, very inexpensive.
Edit--I have found a great encoder for under $40 that will encode just about any video or audio file into .flv format like YouTube. I actually took a 299MB video and encoded it to 1.2MB flash file, works beautiful in a flash player with the encoder from
http://www.on2.com/ You can also download 30-day trial versions for
free at

I then added the mime type of flv Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash to VB attachments parameters and it would not do anything, when I changed it to Content-type: video/x-shockwave-flash it allowed me to download the file on my desktop. However your player would not launch it. Anyone? I would love to be able to use LDM where members could take practically any video or audio type, transcode it on the upload and then when downloaded it would play via flash like YouTube. With on2 they also sell over 130 skins for the players for under $30. Any ideas how LDM could go one step further? Thanks, rg.
