What’s the best way to add a video podcast to an EE2+ site. I currently have the mp4 file stored on Amazon S3.

Thanks
Susan

I would add an custom channel field to fill in the link to the file stored on Amazone S3 and in the front I would implement a videoplayer, best one out there is jwplayer I think, with a nice fallback to html5: http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/

Thanks for the assist, Vic.

Susan, there are also several third party options that may assist you. I queried on Devot-ee.com for the following:

See if any of these meet your needs.

NOTE: If you already know the url for the video, you can put it in the custom field. These other solutions go one step more and allow you to upload to the cloud.

Does that help?

Thank you Vic and Sue. You provided just the direction I needed. All the tutorials I read about podcasting did not discuss media players. You reminded me of this missing link.
