ELIMedia with Webcam Magic!

First of all, special thanks to Aaron Winborn for writing and posting about the Media: Webcam module.  What I've been able to do is only possible because of his module as I admittedly know very little about creating ActionScript that can capture video.  We follow his steps to integration up to the point of sending things off to youtube as we keep assets on our own systems for protection of data related to students.

That said, I'd like to demonstrate the integration of Aaron's module into the ELIMedia system.  ELIMedia is our unit's asset management system.  What sets it apart from other AMSs is that the focus is on adding media so that it's easier to embed in sites in our infrastructure.  It also happens to use Drupal 6 as a front-end for Flash Media Interactive Server which traditionally has no GUI.  I'll be talking more and more about ELIMedia over the coming months as it's one of the 3 distributions I'm trying to release; so enough about that, let's get to the webcam.

This video will showcase how I went about making the previous video

This last one shows a proof of concept of what I'll be working on next which is creating a CKEditor button for using the webcam functionality of ELIMedia.

Look for a release of ELIMedia 6.x-1.0-alpha1 later this month!  I'll be doing some additional blogging about this over on http://drupal.psu.edu as more progress is made over the next week with the proof of concept.
