Good news for all you people who want to process their own video on their Drupal website. While FFMpeg is a "forbidden" application as far as the Fedora project guys and gals are concerned (not sure why - usually because of some legal issue), the ATrpms repositories contain FFMpeg, the Linux command line video encoding tool you need to install to use the FlashVideo module:

Specifically, here is the Fedora 10 repository:

Ouch! Finally found a moment to make a new blog post and instead spent an hour weeding through the spam in my comments - and I'm still not finished!

Turned off commenting without moderation and also changed the CAPTCHA. Didn't think this blog would ever be popular enough to have spam problems. How wrong could I be??
