Video Upload Applet

Question

i am working on a small project that i need the ability to let users upload a video to my website or use a webcam to record a video and then upload it. i have seen this done on several sites (youtube,facebook etc) so i know that there is a java or flash applet that supports this. however i have not been able to find one.

can anyone recommend a good flash or java based video uploader with these features?

Answer 1

Is a video upload control different from a file upload control?

Here's a Flash file upload control.

Here's a link to a Ajax file upload control.

If you search Stack Overflow for "Ajax file uploader" or "Flash file uploader" you'll get more recommendations.

Edit:

Here's a flash recorder and uploader.

Answer 2

JFileUpload is an applet allowing to upload any files (such as video). It supports both HTTP and FTP upload. It can resume broken upload (maybe useful for large video). It can also upload files with size > 2GB. See http://www.jfileupload.com/products/jfileupload/index.html

Some add-ons are available too if you need an enhanced UI

Answer 3

You could use the Nimbb player that let users record videos using the webcam right into your site. It's Flash based widget. Take a look at the API for easy integration in your site.

Answer 4

There is a commercial software [url=http://www.aurigma.com/Products/VideoUploader/]Aurigma Video Uploader[/url] which supports client-side video transcoding before upload.
