Schema _> form for uploading or referencing video plus fields for annotation

Hi All, I am a total noob- although I bought Yaron's book and have been feverishly trying to get the site up. I have the current SMW bundle running and am trying to create a form for uploading a video, then making a few notes, mostly text, a couple boolean, etc. I'd like to be able to edit the fields later (and also the form, that's why I thought schema would be the way to go...) I can't seem to get past the video part though. Is it possible to upload via a form? Would I be better off just uploading the videos separately, then embedding them?

This is for a school research project on gesture analysis and my professor is expecting a presentation on Weds. So, I'm stressing a bit :) Any advise appreciated. I even have a minuscule research budget if someone wants to make $60

Thanks!

Hi - I hope the book is useful! And yes, Page Schemas is the way to go. Support for displaying videos is pretty primitive, but yes, if you have a way to embed uploaded video files (via the Widgets extension, ideally), then you can upload them via the form - it's just a matter of editing the template to display the video file in the right way, which you would have to do by hand.
