Over the past 10 years, the stunning rise of video on the internet as a way to communicate 
and disseminate ideas has made it a platform that EVERYONE has needed to get familiar with 
and master. With this rise, came incredible tools like FFmpeg and video file formats like 
MP4, that has become the de facto video format on the web. FFmpeg is a powerful open source 
video conversion, compression and streaming tool used by top services like YouTube and 
Facebook. Because of the current zeitgeist, it is important to use video on your site to 
interact with you visitors in ways that they can relate to and understand. Communicating 
in a standard way using the MP4 video format and making sure those videos are small in size 
but good in quality is therefore absolutely imperative.
Open Beacon MP4 Conversion and Compression combines WordPress with FFmpeg to easily convert 
files from the popular FLV and MOV file formats to the even more popular MP4 file format. 
Existing MP4 files can be radically compressed without any perceptible loss in video quality. 
In short, Open Beacon MP4 Conversion and Compression is what any WordPress aficionado needs 
if they want to use FFmpeg.
This plugin ONLY works with FFmpeg.

DUE TO LACK OF RESOURCES THERE IS NO SUPPORT OR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PLANNED FOR THE TIME BEING.
FFMPEG LIBRARY GETS UPDATED AND FLAGS USED BY THIS PLUGIN MAY GET DEPRICATED / CHANGED. 
USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
WP Video Posts will enable you to create custom Video posts, upload and insert 
videos into these posts. All uploaded video files will be converted into MP4 
format to enhance the performance so that it loads and plays fast. It creates 
snapshot of a specified frame at a specific time to create the splash image 
for the video. This plugin enables WordPress the ability to allow the 
following formats to be uploaded as well as convert them to the finalized MP4 
format for playing; FLV, F4V, MP4, AVI, MOV, 3GP and WMV formats. 
Important Note: If FFMPEG is NOT installed then the supported formats for playing videos are FLV and MP4 formats and the splash image will not be created and the default image will be shown. You can always encode your video and create a splash image manually.
In addition, WP Video Posts allows the embed of Youtube and Vimeo videos with 
the use of the following shortcodes:
Youtube: 
[wpvp_embed type=youtube video_code=vAFQIciWsF4 width=560 height=315]
Vimeo: 
[wpvp_embed type=vimeo video_code=23117398 width=500 height=281]
You can also use our general shortcode to display a video player anywhere on your site (video need to be of mp4 format): 
[wpvp_player src=http://example.com/path/to/video/file.mp4 splash=http://example.com/path/to/image/file.jpg width=500 height=281]
You can pass the following attributes to a shortcode (examples): 
– width (640) 
– height (480) 
– autoplay (1|0) 
– volume (50) 
– src (http://example.com/video.mp4) 
– splash (http://example.com/video.jpg)
You can also overwrite our template files for the front end uploader / editor if you need to add your styling. 
If you’re going to do so, please copy the files from wp-video-posts/templates/ into your own theme:
<ul>
<li>wpvp-frontend-uploader.php</li>
<li>wpvp-frontend-editor.php</li>
