[Commons-l] Client side transcoding with firefogg (early testing)...

[Michael Dale]

While the upload API is under development / stabilization ... I hacked 
in basic firefogg upload support to the add_media_wizard ...  Since 
firefogg works over post you can use it with the existing upload 
interface (without good error handling).... If you first download the 
browser extension from firefogg.org you can do client side transcoding 
by adding in:

importScriptURI('http://mvbox2.cse.ucsc.edu/wiki/extensions/MetavidWiki/skins/add_media_wizard.js');

to your User:Name/monobook.js page on commons... once added visit the 
upload page and hopefully it gives you the option to transcode ;)

This is just a proof of concept demo.. we should soon have real 
integration ;)

peace,
