How to Upload a Video?

I want to know how to upload a video like on youtube, vimeo etc to get a final flash video. I'm using PHP.

I have this HTML form:

<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="upload_video" />
</form>

So what should I do if the user has uploaded a video for example in .mov or other video formats to have the final flash video?

Please if you know any links or anything related to this let me know!

I suggest:

  • To check this library Swfobject that help you to insert a flash player in your webpage.

  • Then you have to install a video player in your website. For example:JW Player which has an API that you can use in order to personalize as follow:

  • Video in FLV and MP4 and audio in AAC (provider=video).

  • Sounds in MP3 (provider=sound).

  • Images in JPG, GIF and PNG (provider=image).

In addition this player use the official Youtube API and you the player includes native support for playing back Youtube videos just assigning the file flashvar to the URL of the Youtube video (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kHbgyGp-R8&feature=related).

This is more of a encoding question.

Install ffmpeg on your server.
