Hi Emily,
Have you looked at OHMS?
http://www.oralhistoryonline.org/
It is made for digital oral histories. It is very easy for audio, and for
video it is geared towards YouTube, and that kind of thing. However, they
are currently working on a fix that will allow non YouTube sites (you need
good streaming to allow for jumping around the video). They are also
working on a bilingual add on as well.
This player can be easily put into any existing site, whether Omeka or
WordPress, etc.
Cheers
Lisa
