As youtube has become really popular, i was just curious and wanted to ask how many people here have started a similar video sharing site. I also wanted to ask one more question from those who own this script. If a wmv format video is 4 MB, the flv file will be 8 MB, is this same in all scripts ? There have been many scripts in the market. thanks
the fact that there are premade scripts on the market should tell you that the market's already flooded unless you have a unique method of advertising or you're offering something new and worthwhile it's not worth your time. and no it won't always be the same. the settings for the flv file can be changed.
i am not concerned abt the competition, but was just asking how many ppl on DP have gone into this business. regarding flv, i guess i have to get something done by our programmer to make it smaller.
I've not seen many clones of youtube, i mean i dont really know or remember particularly a video sharing site, the bandwidth flows like water, to manage such a site you need huge investments for sure.
Well this is simple when something has succes other people try to copy it and .... copys many uselles apear ... I iven see a version with only porno movies sick people ...
bandwidth is a major issue and i am sure it needs lot of money to run something like this, also, it doesn't seem to be very profitable unless there are lot of advertisements.
tons of websites have made money with video sites over the years. the only major change is that now it's user submitted and in flash, not stuff like streaming wmv/rm/etc.
nice idea, i forgot this simple fast that video things are here since long, but it guess most money was made from adult videos
I would imagine a lot of these sites are up and running what with all the "YouTube clone scripts" being bought and sold.
well, MORE money was made on adult sites on average I'm sure. but entertainment / etc type video sites have been around for a long, long time. ebaumsworld, albinoblacksheep, stupidvideos, etc.
