I are looking for a talented individual to build/put together a HD video hosting website in php/mySQL to replace our current site written in perl(CGI). The video player that will be used is the DivX player. To get an example of what i want check out beta.vreel.net, check the functionalities and maybe some of its design Basic Requirements: php/mySQL upload utility Multiserver support hidden video paths (Obfuscated links) user community functions (create channel, comments, rating, avatars, etc...) some design will be required (not logo, etc..) already existing users/videos need to be merged with the new platform ffmpeg proccesing of videos for screenshots, duration, etc I don't mind if some opensource/paid system is used as long as all the features i require can be custom coded into the platform. No Joomla or any other bulky CMS please. interested parties that have a portfolio of similar projects will strongly be taken into account. Coder must be ready to start straight away. my budget is around $1,500 maybe more.
unfortunately evm, it's extremely unlikely that you would be able to hire someone to build a vReel clone for $1,500 - try upping your budget closer to around $5,000 and you should see some progress. You could however look at using a free UGC-Movie script (such as phpmotion) and editing it to convert videos to DivX/XviD container, and display in the DivX webplayer.
