Developer Edgar de León has introduced a new video blogging plugin for WordPress, WebTV.
WebTV is designed to let you attach a video to a post and upload it to most popular video distribution sites, including YouTube, Vimeo and Blip.tv. After your video is uploaded and processed, WebTV get and inserts the embed code from the sites into custom fields on the post.

How It Works
Every time you create a new post, a new Metabox appears letting you attach a video to the post. After the video is uploaded, it uses the post title, description and tags to publish the video to the most popular video distribution sites like YouTube, Blip, Vimeo.
You can check the option to let the plugin automatically publish the post on Wordpress after a successful upload to any of the video distribution sites configured. The plugin uses the Wordpress internal cron system to upload the video to all the sites configured. After a succesfull upload the plugin checks the video distribution site every 5 minutes if the video was processed and if the embed code is available, once the video is ready it gets the embed code and insert the data into a custom field on the post.
