Uploading videos - domain specific - Custom component
Posted 14 years 6 months ago
Hi Guys.
I need to allow registered users on my site to upload videos (which will be linked to a file).
The videos will only be small clips (about 1min) of damaged vehicles.
I was going to use an external video site for the videos BUT they must be domain speicific (not for public viewing)
The reason is that the videos are for legal insurance purposes, and to have data protection we must not allow public to view the bike via the web.
Vimeo - these guys have an API and upload system, and a pro account to allow loads of upload BUT they wont allow me to use their system as they dont allow commercial / business videos.
Youtube - Can be private BUT the user must register and then accept an invitation (this is pointless and will never work for me) but it does have an upload API
Any other ideas guys?
My only other option is to host the vids myself but it may kill my bandwidth etc... and to encode the videos to the correct format and size i may need a dedicated server etc...
