Video Community Script

December 16th, 2008

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.
