all !

my name is juan www.tobesecurity.com
I am looking for a solution in which I will upload files to a
dedicated page in my site and users can log in an watch the files.
each file will be around 800Mb the users will have some kind of
authentication. the deal is that I dont what that the users wil be
able to seve the files I want them that when they clic on the file
name they will see the file. maybe something like youtube

how can I do it? I designed my site but I am new to all of this.

please give me a hand.

Thanks a lot.

Juan

You're looking and something pretty hardcore to do that. While it's not
hard to build a system to do that, you need pretty fat computers to
process and manage the video.

They way we do it:

Users can upload any video they like (MPEG, AVI etc) via FTP or an
upload page. We have a Flash server which then processes the video into
FLV format (which is tiny) and then the resulting files are viewable via
a Flash movie.

Flash is by far the best way to distribute movie clips, but it takes a
lot of resource. On a quad core 3Ghz Mac with 8Gb RAM it can take an
hour to compress an hours worth of video. Anyway, that's the pro way of
doing it, and this is how YouTube does it.

Alternatively just require your users to upload pre-formatted quicktime
or FLV files. You can then create a small Flash movie that will directly
play either of those formats without having to process the file. This
does require the user to make them in the right format first. All
depends on how tech savvy your particular audience is, otherwise you are
going to have to make a serious investment in a video processing box, or
even a farm of video processing servers if you are expecting lots and
lots of videos.

Hope I didn't scare you, but video processing is pretty much the most
intensive thing you can do with a computer.

The security (login etc) is the easy bit.

....not necesarily, over the Internet more so, but usually rendering is
more processor intensive than encoding video is.

I would say the boy needs to work on his communication skills first,
BEFORE worrying about trying to integrate video into his site. Also
I'm not sure if he thought someone was going to be able to suggest
some kind of cookie cutter package or something, but really, what he's
suggesting is something he would need to hire a web developer to do.
