Hi again Dick,

I added the necessary registry.php entry and configured oscar and it  
seems pretty neat.  One thing that I did feel that I needed, also  
sometimes en ansel, was a progress bar, that I think doesn't exist in  
horde anywhere.  There is probably a reason for it that I am unaware of.

The following seem interesting:

http://pecl.php.net/package/uploadprogress

I'm also experiencing a very long processing delay that I assume is to  
convert to flv, that I would personally prefer to not use but I can  
understand why you decided to.  Now my question here is if I will get  
a time out or an error message if the following doesn't work or what  
should I do to test?
