We’re collecting interesting questions about WordPress from our readers, then publishing them here on the blog, in an effort to harvest the best problem-solving skills that the WPMU community can muster. Get involved here – there are glorious prizes and lots of karma points to be won.
Monday’s WordPress Question
Do you know a thing or two about embedding videos in WordPress? If so, take heed, because a member of the WPMU community is in need of some good ole’ fashioned WordPress wisdom.
A blog reader by the name of James has sent us the following correspondence:

What I’d like to be able to do instead, is embed my videos in a WordPress site, so I have a way to broadcast my stuff without relying on YouTube. I want to host the videos on my own server (I’m using Dreamhost).
Any ideas, plugins, or experience to share?
Many thanks,
James
