How to stream megaupload videos using divx?

Question

I have seen some websites stream avi videos from megaupload using divx web player. How would I do this for my site?

Are there open source scripts to do this? How would I get started?

Answer 1

Yes I am curious about the same thing. An example is megavu.com or icfilms.info, they both use a divx player to stream avi hosted on megaupload. I need an answer as megavu.com is not a permanent solution for me to embed i need to have my OWN player so it's guaranteed to be stable. Please get back to me any information is much appreciated. If you're a programmer and can figure this out i will be willing to pay $$$ for such a player. thanks.

Answer 2

I don't think they are streaming using their own player. I also highly doubt they are streaming DivX that's encoded on-the-fly, as this would require some serious CPU power.

They are probably using Megavideo's embedded player, and the uploaded video was originally in DivX. AFAIK Megavideo doesn't do any post-processing or conversion of their videos (unlike Youtube).
