+ sudo apt-get install python-gst0.10 gstreamer0.10-plugins-{base,bad,good,ugly} \
+ gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
Next, modify (and possibly copy over from ``mediagoblin.ini``) your
-``mediagoblin_local.ini``. Uncomment this line in the ``[mediagoblin]``
-section::
+``mediagoblin_local.ini``. In the ``[mediagoblin]`` section, add
+``mediagoblin.media_types.video`` to the ``media_types`` list.
+
+For example, if your system supported image and video media types, then
+the list would look like this::
media_types = mediagoblin.media_types.image, mediagoblin.media_types.video
Now you should be able to submit videos, and mediagoblin should
transcode them.
