Video Upload Types

[Ell20]

Hi,

 

Im in the process of creating a video upload script however I wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of a list of the video upload types. By this I mean like for images you have: image/jpeg, image/gif etc. What are the video equivalents?

 

Thanks for your help

I could be wrong here, but I would use flash.  Check out this article, very nice.

Hey,

 

I dont want to play the movie, I simply want to upload it.

Does anyone no the types for videos like video/wmv etc?

 

Thanks

I guess it will depend on what application your using it for.  Is it just storing it for later use?  Not sure here?

I just want to upload the video file to the server but I want to check the file type before I allow it to be uploaded?

 

It dosent matter want I want to use the video for after its uploaded I just want it to be uploaded but obviously I dont want people uploaded .pdf files etc so I believe there is a php command where you can do something like this:

 

($_FILES['moviefile']['type'] == "video/wmv")

 

But I wanted a list of all the possible types if possible

 

Cheers

Ok that clears it up.  This might work to limit the types of files.  I could be wrong.

 

if (!($uploaded_type=="image/gif")) {

echo "You may only upload GIF files.<br>";

$ok=0;

}

Man no offence but you dont have a clue what your chatting about.

 

If you can read/answer what im asking then there isnt much point in you answering.

I now understand you need a list of possible video types.  I used to have a link let me check.
