PloneConf 2006 talk: Multimedia and Podcasting with Plone
With the growing demand for rich multimedia content such as podcasts and video, it's becoming more important to provide a way to author and deliver this content on your website. Plone out-of-the-box does not handle multimedia content very effectively, but with the addition of the PloneMultimedia package, you can add audio, video and photos to your site and generate podcasts to more efficiently distribute this content to your audience.
