anand_ragav Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi I am working on two projects at the moment and in both the projects I need to play videos uploaded by different users/ visitors. One project employs a dedicated server while the other one is hosted in a shared hosting environment. Accepted video formats – 3gp, mov, avi, wmv, mpeg, mpg and file size limit is 20Mb. Can someone please let me know if there is a common plugin that I can use to play all these video formats? And also how do I overcome the issue pertaining to the server time out when uploading a file as heavy as 20MB.

anand_ragav Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 I seriously doubt whether I can play all the file formats using flash. Can somebody please let me know if this is right or not?

Daniel0 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Just convert them to flv on the server. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/106414-a-common-video-player/#findComment-545562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
anand_ragav Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 I infact had searched for tools to do this conversion online but didnt find any free tools. My client doesnt have money to purchase paid tools like ON2. Can someone let me know if there is any free online conversion tool thats available? And of course this definitely solves the issue in the dedicated server environment if I get the free tool. But doesnt solve the same issue in the shared hosting environment as I cannot install a third party s/w in a shared hosting. Is there any other solution thats available? Thanks a lot for your repsonses till now. I really appreciate the interest people have shown towards this posting.
