You can upload any type of file with MT. It doesn't care in the least. The most you may have to do is write some HTML to embed it properly in a post. Nothing more than writing an object or embed tag.
movable type integrates with windows live writer...check with the plugins to see if there is a good video integration tool. I know there is one for youtube that is pretty slick
Simon, the movable type uploading facility is limiting the size of any materials you could upload from within movable type to 1 MB.
However, you could define a configuration directive on your mt-config.cgi file and increase that limit to whatever you like.
For instance, for uploading files up to 10 MB / file you will have to add:
CGIMaxUpload 10485760
That is made of 10 x 1024 x 1024.
Then, you will have to embed a video player.
There are plenty for .FLV video files.
Alternatively, you may like to consider to upload your video files to online services such as youtube.com and then grab from there a small piece of code, called embedding code, which you could publish on your Web site.
This way, you won't store the video files physically on your server, but you will be able to embed a video player from that online service.
Mihai Bocsaru,
Although viable, using a third-party site (as you suggested) to manage media streams kinda defeat the purpose of having them on your own site/server. Besides, sites like YouTube likes to censor the media you post and if they don't conform to their rules they get deleted; if you re-offend too often your account gets closed.
Fliqz has a commercial plug in available that'll do everything the OP wants but it's not free!
