The Video module "transcodes" nearly any video format to H.246, Theora, VP8 (and many others) using either Zencoder cloud transcoding service or the open source FFMPEG project on your server. Site builders upload videos to nodes via a video field (which is part of the Video module) much like they would with the file field. When videos have finished transcoding, the Video module automatically creates thumbnails and will embed a video player into the theme layer. The Video module is highly configurable, and can integrate with AWS S3 cloud storage services.
