chmpdog Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hi, I want to host videos on my site, using a flash player, but I can't figure it out. Currently I have all my videos saved on my server as a mpeg-4 but I dont know how to do a youtube like player. Would I use both flash and php or just flash?

Stuie_b Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Your files need to be converted to flv, then use a flash flv player to play your files, Stuie Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/166144-video-player/#findComment-876477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 There are loads of video players that you can download and use. On a youtube style site where users can upload videos the file will get converted into flv format so it can be played back. The original file will then probably get deleted i.e. mpeg. There are server programs that can do this like FFMPEG or MENCODER which you can use within php scripts.
