Editor's Note
- Hosted solution is Commercial, Community solution is Free.
The open source Kaltura Video extension for Joomla handles every aspect of video and rich-media, including content management, syndication, monetization, transcoding, uploading and importing content, and even editing and remixing of content online – it’s simple to install, use and customize. The extension is available in two flavors – either hosted by Kaltura with tier 1 hosting and streaming services and a 10 GB FREE trial, or connected to the community-supported self-hosted version of Kaltura, which is completely for free.
See below for detailed features and more information on our hosting options.

""To take advantage of Kaltura's Video component that allows site administrators to easily add advanced video functionality to any article, you'll need to signup and get a Kaltura Partner ID.
Once you signup, your component will be activated and you will receive a link to the Kaltura Management Console where you can further manage your rich-media content, customize your players and create playlists."
Upon further investigation at their web site, there is a free trial ONLY offered. To keep this component running requires a paid membership ID."
Upon further investigation at the web site, a "free trial" is offered for three months, after which you need to pay for membership.
This is clearly a commercial product. It cannot be used continuously without paying them. They need to change their description.

I have to agree with what some of these other guys have been saying. I tried out a couple of other options before Kaltura and wasn’t completely happy with some of the features. Kaltura’s extension is great for everything that’s important to me – quick upload of my files and a management system that’s easy to work + some cool extra editing features that I wasn’t initially looking for, but I’m now thinking will make a good addition to what I have going on.
Keep up the good work folks!

On first glance this is a commercial product attempting to play with the big kids in Joomla Land.
There is no community to speak of....
There are no demo's.
It feels like some enterprise service.
After I began to work with it the interface is nearly featureless.
Basically this software needs a lot of work!
Not yet ready for the primetime.
