How does it work?

Just upload a video and we’ll take care of the rest! VideoPress converts your source video into multiple high-quality formats suitable for viewing on the web, downloaded to your desktop, direct from your television, or loaded onto your portable electronics. Capture videos, upload, embed, and publish. VideoPress is fully integrated with WordPress with the simplicity you have come to expect from your favorite blogging software.

HD VideoPress intelligently selects the best quality video based on your blog theme, filling your full column of content. VideoPress supports most popular file formats can even handle large file sizes (1+ GB!). Video stats are displayed alongside post stats using the WordPress statistics you already know and love.
