Many thanks for the help.

The problem was that I’d clearly run the importer script before following the instructions earlier, then the script was not reprocessing these files.

Once I’d hacked the script to run the media-importer on the already imported files, then this all works just perfectly.

Many thanks.

dllh, thanks for the quick reply. I thought this was the thread that had the reply written up (I’ve done several threads, and all the ones with ‘video’ in end up here. Maybe I’m missing something though). AIC73 seems to have lots of .mov files that haven’t imported (which is the same problem that I have), but others seem to have videos that have imported (maybe these are in a different format?).

Hence the question – has anyone got .mov import working?

In my case, What gets imported is this:

so it shouldn’t be too difficult to change the <img src=""> to the one in wordpress (the file got copied) and the href link to the .mov file in wordpress (not ideal, but it’ll be fine for my purposes)… But I’m guessing at this point I’m best to find some way to re-process the imports?

Hi guys, thanks for all this work.

Maybe I’ve missed something, but I’ve just imported my posterous site using the method above, which has a few hundred video’s and several hundred photos. The photo’s have come in correctly, but the video’s all link back to posterous (although the video’s themselves have come into the gallery).

Firstly, should the video’s have had their URL’s rewritten to point to the local site?

Secondly, given that they haven’t been rewritten, and if they are supposed to be, how do I re-run the import without skipping all the posts in the second run.

Thirdly, if I’m supposed to update the video’s manually (which I think I am), can someone explain in a bit of detail, how I do that without spending forever browsing the gallery (i.e. is there any quick way to find a name of a video filename in wordpress from the link to posterous?)

Many thanks,

Will
