I'm building or trying to build a video system in to our joomla site. We have 120 videos that need to be posted on seperate pages and then made accessible. Is there a good system for this already or am I stuck just posting each video myself. Everytime we do a show I would need to add 10 videos or more. I want it to be easy for people to watch but also easy for others to add video.
Thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Well, this depends. I think that the easiest way would be to upload video to the youtube and on your site use some extension in which you can link videos from there. For example, hwdmediashare or similar

If you are any good with JSON and PHP you can use the youtube API or build a webservice via YQL to grab the video links and thumbs and display them on your site with some pagination.
Cant imaging it being a huge task for anyone good with PHP.

Ahh so you want a way for people to upload videos to your site for storage etc...?
Ive seen systems like this before and the last ones i looked at all required a dedicated server with encoders etc... installed on the server to manage with compressing and encoding the videos people uploaded to the site.
Remember, you will probably be dealing with people who will try and upload 1GB videos directly from a camera and you will need to compress them!
I dont know of any Joomla extensions that do this...
We run an event that does a live ppv. After the event we want to publish the videos for people to watch. The problem is, I am sitting on over 120 videos of matches. I need to put these out for people to see and to grown the event.
I can't decided if I should only publish them on our website, or do a combo of our site and youtube, or what lol.
We want to be able to run advertising on the videos and also use the preroll for advertising our upcoming events.
