Video sharing site with embeddable upload control

I'm in the process of building a site with embedded videos. I'd prefer not dealing with the videos myself and instead use something like Vimeo Plus. I also would like the future administrators of the site to be able to upload videos directly from the administration interface of the site (i.e. so that they don't have to go to Vimeo for up...

replace image with a video embeded

Hi I'm trying to modify a web page so that it loads faster. Since I have some videos embeded (blip.tv but can change it to youtube if it helps) I was wondering if you could load an image where the video should be and on click replace the image with the video and start playing (without reloading the whole page). I think I've seen this be...

Which Is More Efficient, Embeddeing an FLV or Compiling an FLV to a SWF and Loading it Dynamically?

Recently I took on a rather daunting task of creating an interactive music video for the popular show Ghost Whisperer. I was brought in late in the project and was confronted with a giant authoring file (some 5000+ frames long).

Updating Embedded Video in Firefox

I am working on a Videos page where my intention is to load a video with the page but by clicking a link, the original video will be updated and replaced with the corresponding video. For instance, if video1 loads with the page and the user clicks to view video2, the original div's innerHTML holding video1 is updated to play video2. No...

How do I allow video embed html safely on a site?

Hi, I have a php application in which we allow every user to have a "public page" which shows their linked video. We are having an input textbox where they can specify the embed video's html code. The problem we're running into is that if we take that input and directly display it on the page as it is, all sorts of scripts can be insert...

Video encoding for websites

Hello, I am a little new to embedding videos on a website. What is the best way to go about it? I just started reading up on it. I read that I should use HTML5 and the browser's native player. -- Does anyone know of a javascript library that will use the browser's player and detect if the browser is not using HTML5 to downgrade to a f...
