Dating Software with Video

Wazzum — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 16:24:36 +0000

Wazzum Dating Software 2.0 contains a new Video feature. This video feature works the same way as YouTube.com does. It’s a technology called FFMPEG which basically takes a video file that you have on your computer and when you upload it to your profile, it encodes it and compresses it so that it can be streamed when someone looks at your profile. This replaces the old way of uploading video files and having to wait to download them before viewing them. Because it encodes it and compresses it, you can take a very large video file, encode it and stream it so that it can be played in a flash video player at any Internet speed. So, for all those users on dialup, the now get to watch a video of a member profile without having to wait to download it.

The best thing about this new FFMPEG feature is that it will convert all types of video and audio formats and make it available for streaming in a nice Flash Video Player. The FF in FFMPEG stands for Fast Forward. The other nice thing about the FFMPEG video feature is that you don’t have to pay extra for it. FFMPEG comes already included in Wazzum Dating Software 2.0 at no extra charge.

How does it work you ask? Well, the user uploads the video from the My Media area of their account and then that video goes to the Admin for approval. Only at that time does the video get encoded and compressed and ready for streaming. This cuts down on video conversions that might take up additional server resources. If you delete it, then it won’t need to be converted and thus reducing server utilization.

The only requirement is that your hosting server must have FFMPEG installed. There are a couple other things that you need as well and I have listed those at the bottom of the Dating Software Features page.

If you have any questions about how FFMPEG works or just have questions about the Wazzum Dating Software, then feel free contact us.

Video Community Script

A video community script allows you to start your own type of video streaming site like YouTube.com. It also allows you to have your very own niche market community allowing your members to upload audio and video for streaming to other members. If you have a hobby and you want to start your own community site then having a good video community script is key.

There are lots of so called YouTube Clones out there that allow you to start your own video community but you need to be careful. A lot of these scripts are full of viruses and spyware. Even though you might find a video community software for $10 dollars, you need to be careful. Just think about what you are paying for. The old adage is that you get what you pay for right? A $10 dollar script is just that, a $10 dollar script and comes with no support. You also have to keep in mind that to run a video community site, you will need some applications on your server. One of which is FFMPEG. This is the application that converts all video/audio formats to a streaming format. Most videos are large in size so they would take a long time to view. Hence why they are converted for streaming. Most reliable hosting companies do not have FFMPEG in their shared server hosting setups. That is something you have to pay extra for.

Besides FFMPEG, you also need other applications in order to properly stream it. There are about 4 other applications that you need to install. Once you get those installed, your cheap video community script may still not even work. Again, it’s a $10 dollar video script. If you are searching for a reliable and stable video community script, then be sure to check out our social software demo. It’s got everything you need to start a YouTube type of community site.

Every dating site needs some form of video. Whether it’s live video instant messenger or the ability for your users to upload video profiles. Dating sites have progressed so much since the days of a photo and a profile. These days members searching for dates want as much information on their match as possible. By adding video profiles as well as video IM, your members will be able to determine more about their potential match before contacting them. Photos are so one sided but adding a video profile gives the member a 3 dimensional way of gaining more information on their possible match.

Wazzum provides both video options in our dating software and social software. We use FFMPEG as main video converter. FFMPEG is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It works the say way as YouTube in that you upload your video and the FFMPEG will convert it to a streaming format. This allows members to record video and audio and store the files for streaming by other members.
