Hello everyone,

I want to setup a web site like Youtube to host some internal videos. I want to know whether there are any open source and .Net based projects to easy use/setup? I want to host the video by myself other than any 3rd party services for copyright reasons. :-)

thanks in advance, George

Have a look at the following blog post: http://blog.go4teams.com/?p=56

THey talk about how to set up a YouTube like site using free and open source tools. They are using the Django framework but the rest of the information is still valid for a .Net project.

There is also a project called OS Tube (http://www.ostube.de/en/) which has a open source "community edition". This is written in PHP. You can run PHP under .net using Phalanger.

Thanks, some other guys recommend http://www.codeplex.com/videoshow to me, but I find it is not a totally self-hosted web site. It is hosted by Microsoft streaming service?

You can also use Django on .NET using IronPython.

Thanks Ali, any experience of using video.show? It is a project which purely hosted locally or have to by assisted by Microsoft silverlight streaming service?

Take a look at FlowPlayer.org or JW FLV Media Player. These are the best I've seen and free, but not OS.
