How to create online streaming videos for website

Hi there,

How to create online streaming videos for website

I want to create some streaming videos for my website. How do I go about doing this. Are there any good softwares to do this to make life easy.

Thanks

 

Streaming is simply putting Online. You can use Scripts like PHP motion for that. Or get a custom Player that can get URLs. Then it would be a work of simple Embeding. Hope that helps.

The Streams are usually .FLV Format as they take less space. So an .Flv player with a compatibility to grab .FLV Videos would be good Here.

 

you can stream videos in many format, you can embed wmf (windows media format, its very simple to do, but only windows users will be able to watch), or quicktime (its simple too, but it has its own accessibility difficulties), or the best way (I think) is to use flash. I think you can google up free flash video players, but its not expensive to buy one (at flashden.net for instance) the flash video format is flv, you may buy a converter, or google up some freeware, or something, but there are online services where you can convert video into any format for a few bucks heywatch(or something like that).com

or... off course you can upload your videos to youtube, or to metacafe (it has a little bit better quality) or some other site, and embed it to your site, in this case they do the hosting, encoding, etc. but you have no control over the look of the player

 

what kind of video? is it video tutorials or just viral stuff?

 

Simplest method is this:
Upload the video to your hosting.
add the code to your page:

<object classid="clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=8,5,0,0" width="720" height="480">
<param name="src" value="filename">
<embed src="filename" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/" width="width_of_video" height="height_of_video"></embed>
</object>


Thats it!

 

Its video Tutorials what I am hosting for. All my videos are mpeg or avi format and Now I want to stream it in my sites.

 

Could you please show me an example. I am completely completely new to this kind of code.

 

I will explain you the code

<object classid="clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=8,5,0,0" width="720" height="480">
<param name="src" value="filename">
<embed src="filename" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/" width="width_of_video" height="height_of_video"></embed>
</object>

HTML:

<object classid="clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=8,5,0,0" width="720" height="480">

Code (markup):

Dont worry about the above code you need to do no editing here

<param name="src" value="filename">

Code (markup):

here, edit the "filename" with the path of your movie on the host

<embed src="filename" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/" width="width_of_video" height="height_of_video"></embed>
</object>

Code (markup):

Here edit the filename thing with your filepath
and the "width_of_video" with the desired width
and the height_of_video for the desired height

hope this helps you a but

 

clipshare script try it

 

In this case the filename with the movie name I would be replacing with will be in which format mate. Thanks for the help in advance.

 

Well u can use many formats in <embed>, but with this one as the plugins page value says, u would use a shockwave flash

Do change the pluginspage thingy if u want to use more
