    Hi Forum!

    Does anyone know what technology would power a video sharing site?

    Here is what I am trying to do:
    - Create a website where high school coaches can exchange film (most film is like 4 hours long)

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Brad

    Hey Bud,

    There are quite a few video sharing scripts in PHP and your server will need to re-encode the videos that are uploaded, normally this is done with something like FFmpeg. If you have a VPS you can do this yourself or search Google for FFmpeg hosting in your region. I dont know how long 4hrs will take to encode but it may take a while without a proper powerful server.

    First hit on google was pacifichost.com/ffmpeg-hosting.shtml hope that starts you off in the right direction.
