Even one of the original authors of MediaWiki has trouble uploading media files to Wikimedia Commons... http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=236

/me again ponders the transcoding-on-upload problem for mp3/mp4/etc files... is there some server-side solution with a 'safe' license if we don't expose the original files to redownload, or shall I just start work on a client-side upload/transcode helper app?

Hey, I always wanted to learn the encoding interfaces for Vorbis, Theora, and VP8 anyway... MORE WEEKEND & EVENING PROJECTS!

FFmpeg can be used to convert things. I use 4 - 20 times almost every day.

ffmpeg is not exactly user-friendly ;)
