I'm using using uwe hermann's patched version of video.module for 4.6, here: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/sandbox/uwe/
Problem: cannot get .mov files to display/play in video nodes, although drupal recognizes the existence of the file, since it autofills the file size when I preview. The node simply shows up with blank content. This is the case in Firefox1.5/Mac, Safari/Mac and Omniweb/Mac, all of which can otherwise play QT files successfully. The directory the video is in is chmodded 777.
Question 1:Any suggestions, no matter how simple? I'm a n00b and surely missing something obvious.
Question 2:In ?q=admin/settings/video it asks for the
Location of Flash player skin:
and has an autofill value of
modules/video/FLVPlayer_Skin.swf
and
Filename of Flash loader:
and has an autofill value of
Player.swf
I'm a bit confused - the video.module folder doesn't include a FLVPlayer_Skin.swf file, and the drupal root directory doesn't include a Player.swf file. I can't find them anywhere in my installation, so can't point the admin settings to them. Where do I find these files & where to upload them, or what am I doing incorrectly? Thanks much!

Exactly THE SAME problem I have.
I just wish someone would just integrate an existing flash video player with Drupal.

The player, as you might have read can be integrated with Wordpress, Typo3 and Textpattern
licensing
I seem to remember there was a problem with the license for FLV
FlowPlayer
From FILE_TYPES.txt for the video module from CVS.
I haven't tried it yet and the name of the file is FlowPlayer.swf, not Player.swf. I don't know about the FLVPlayer_Skin.swf option though. I'll let you know if I come up with something.
Update:
The FLVPlayer_Skin.swf file can be found here http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/video/?hideat... . Don't know how legal it is.
why is not legal? it's just a player not an encoder

This is becouse the patch as
This is becouse the patch as been created before the new feature of thumbnails.
In order to enable thumbnailing on 4.6 a backporting patch need to be done.
