I'm trying to install your extension but i'm stuck at first step. How/where cna i find the mwembedsupport extension that needs to be installed. Furthermore, the firefogg files are available for all major platforms. So once i download the one from the source, where do i place it in relation to my server, within the extensions or anywhere in my server. Similarly it also says I need a copy of ffmpeg2theor in my server and I'm not clear for that too. I'm guessing the suggested configuration lines is for comman line instructions for the settings and do we run that from root or from specific folder. Obviously I'm a bit of a starter so my question may sound very simple or studid but I apologize if it comes off like that. I've always had a difficulty of how we can install programs made for linux, windows, mac being 'installed' on my server. Thanks MW1.17, apache server, php 5.3, shared host.

You can get mwEmbedSupport from the same parent directory as TimedMediaHandler: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/MwEmbedSupport/

You need to setup the paths in the local settings for your encoder binaries see the README for more info

You may have some challenges running this off of a shared host because it includes transcoding support dependent on shell scripts / cron jobs.

Is there any way to get an easier download of MwEmbedSupport rather than downloading all those files and creating the folders manually?

Alternately, is MwEmbedSupport necessary if I'm not using the transcoding features of TimeMediaHandler? I run a audio-themed Wiki, and I'm looking into updating from the old OggHandler extension to this one, but I don't need any video features.
