Wikipedia supports video with [[Media:]] tag. Also, Wikimedia Commons has a
little collection of them https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Video

Also, this message is more related to Wikimedia or Commons mailing lists
(cc:). If you are the owner of those videos and you want to donate them,
some people can help you in the process.

Well, not really - uploading video is still laborious because we've
been waiting literally years for the Timed Media Handler, which is a
wikitech issue. Andrew could probably deal with the ffmpeg2theora bit,
but it's still faffy and troublesome.

Where's the latest thread on the Timed Media Handler progress?

I am meeting with MIT Open CourseWare tomorrow - they want to expand
the set of videos they released last year under CC-SA, starting with
categories / vids that would be fill gaps on Wikipedia.  Any thoughts
on how to make that collaboration more effective would be welcome.

You can upload them to Internet Archive, if Wikipedia has temporal issues
with videos. When the problems are fixed, we can move them from Internet
Archive to Wikimedia Commons.

[Sumana Harihareswara]

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Roadmap indicates that we aim to have
TimedMediaHandler deployed onto Wikimedia Foundation sites by the end of
May 2012.

TimedMediaHandler has been reviewed by Ian Baker and Kandalgaonkar
extensively, with lots of changes made in response by Michael Dale.
Review notes and Michael's follow-up are at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/TimedMediaHandler/ReviewNotes . It is
currently being tested, including transcoding support, at
http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/File:Electric_sheep.webm
.  (Copied this from the extensions review queue status at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Review_queue .)
