Hey,

How do you upload videos with paperclip and transcode them into flash with rails? I also want the app to handle multiple uploads at a time. How do I do this and what plugins should I use.

Many thanks.

Did you happen to read though the first listing in that search result? It looked to me like it might be helpful in solving at least part of what you need.

Glad to hear you found some to get you started anyway.
