how to create a web site like youtube

[sylvester0302]

Hi all ,
I'm trying to develop a web site like youtube , allow user to upload any type of video n convert it to FLV format.
I need a backend engine, I had trial Movavi Engine n TotalMovieConverterX which i search from internet but all aren't working.
Any other good suggestion ?
thank you.

Best regards,
Syl

Well, I am not going to go through the whole thing with you, but you are going to need a script like alstrasoft, vidiscript, clip-share, and will need knowledge of how to install ffmpeg and mplayer and mencoder correctly to convert the videos. Here is a site I use for video hosting and I know it uses ffmpeg to encode the videos. http://mivid.net

a friend tell me this tool can help you creat a web like youtube.

some information:
Flash Video MX SDK V2 is to help server applications to convert the uploaded videos from virtually any format to Flash video (FLV), Flash (SWF), and AAC/H.264 MP4! With it you can build a video host website like that of YouTube, Google video, Yahoo! Video, etc.


if need you can google it.

Though it is late, hope this "Sharing: How to design a video sharing site like YouTube" can help you.

Did you bother to read that post. The guy says he is going to tell you how to create a site like youtube step by step but all he did is point out some tools to do it with.
