Hi guys, i need some help on what are the softwares that i need to install on my server to setup a video blog system? This site will allow that user to upload videos on their blogs and played in flash player. I am a PHP newbie and this is my 1st project . Pls help me and give any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
I don't know if you need something in particular, just build the website and learn Flash. The users will upload videos and you must find a way to read those avi files in a flash player (or just make them upload flash movies). The visitors will need to have Flash Player installed. You need a server (like Apache), PHP and MySQL, that's the standard you'll find at most php hosters. I don't know if there's something out there to help you skip hard work. Good luck!
If you want your visitors to upload avi files and then convert them to .flv yous should have ffmpeg software too.
i really wouldn't recommend something like this as a 'first time' project but if you think you can do it and pull it off then by all means, go for it. i have a feeling that you will be asking lots of interesting questions around the forums
