valerie Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I'm far away from family and I want to put up short video clips of my kids for the grandparents. Does anyone have suggestions for a good script or cms that can do this well? Wordpress, Mambo, Coppermine? I looked on the coppermine site and didn't see much on the subject and I've had trouble getting the video uploads to work with it--I tried files 10MB and smaller. Or should I just add it directly to the html without using another script? Thanks for any suggestions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I would just upload them to a folder in my webspace using FTP and create links for them with regular html. Don't forget that movie files will eat a lot of bandwidth if played over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerie Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Ok--Thanks! Do you know if they're better as avi or wmv or mpg format? I was going to use Windows Media Encoder 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomowa Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hi Valerie, Either format will work, just don't use .avi, they are gigantic file size. My friend Gail, who is a member here at TCH, put together this page http://www.homegail.com/downscript/index.php to offer up viewing/downloads of files. It uses a script available here http://www.ironclad.net/scripts/ Gail then did some work to spruce up the page and it looks very nice What the script does is list files and offer them to either view, or download to a desired location on the viewers computer. Very cool. Looks much neater than a HTML page with just links on it. HTH, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
