Many videos of math have been released into the creative commons domain. The headache? how to get them onto 'media commons.
Is there a straight forward way to transmit videos remotely from a site to commons withouth having it to touch a local pc?
thanks.

That means one will have to download all the videos, and upload them back to Wiki Commons. Isn't there anyway one can upload to Wikimedia commons with such fast means without having to get it touch a local pc before being uploaded?
Lets resort to other mailing lists for help
Thanks for the info though.

Who's going to copy them into Commons?
Hello,
I don't know if anyone's solved this on a larger scale yet, so I asked a developer I know (Commons:User:Lokal profil) about it.
He wrote that it may be possible to upload directly from the URL to Commons. Admins can do it from Flickr. However, two problems: 1) Flickr is the only website this is open to do this from. Permission have to be asked, probably though Bugzilla, to add this exception, and 2) the videos will probably have to be converted to the correct formats locally. This can be done automatically (download from URL, convert and upload). Ask at Commons:Batch_uploading if someone can help.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Lennart Guldbrandsson
