How to make a video sharing website like YouTube

YouTube is a magical thing for me.
It only depends on video sharing, creating such a great level 3 ranking on all websites in the world: what it is and how it is designed.
I have always doubted this.
In this article, I will try to describe how to build a video sharing website in the following points.
Also, this article is just a general guide.
It is not possible to find all the content of YouTube in this article.
YouTube is a very complex system.
There are many and many things you need to do. 1.

Who will read this: if you are interested in running a video hosting service, you want to create your own video sharing website on a Linux server with thousands of visitors and video clips, like YouTube, iFilm, Break, or other well-known video-sharing sites, this tutorial may tell you how to take the first step. 1.
What is YouTube? ---------------
On Wikipedia, free encyclopedia youtube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips.
YouTube is mid-

How to Design YouTube website?
As for what you must have seen, you must buy your own domain name (
Or create a new one.
Rent your own server
Since the free host doesn\'t allow you to upload a few videos, they won\'t give you the database and server you need-side scripts.
To design a website like YouTube, you have to use three main tools.
They are web design software and activity page development tools such as Dreamweaver or home page; sever-
Video-to-flash video converter like Adobe®Flash®Media Interactive server 3;
Flash video player manufacturers like Moyea Web player Pro.
Then I want to show you how to design a YouTube siteby-step.
First of all, we have to design a website using some web design tools.
At present, most web designers usually use Dreamweaver and home page.
You can simplify the development workflow by creating and editing images in Fireworks and flash works in Adobe Flash CS3 or CS4 Professional, and then import them directly into Dreamweaver.
Develop customer interaction systems, such as login, logout, registration system, upload system, database system, etc. , to store customer information and videos uploaded by customers, which requires active page technology, such as ASP.
NET, PHP, Java, etc.
You can use PHP code to process the active page, the Linux Apache server as your server, and the MySQL database as your database system.
You must install all of these tools in the machine and set up the development environment correctly to make sure they work together.
Please note that video sharing sites like YouTube will \"take\" your programming time for a few months (
I mean serious coding).
Secondly, after the web page is completed, because it is certain that the video uploaded by people will be very irregular, then YouTube must include a video to flash the video (. flv)
All kinds of video files uploaded by all customers can be converted into a converter for flash Video (. flv)format file;
YouTube needs software that can standardize these video files, including format normalization, size normalization, WxH normalization, etc.
More importantly, the software must be able to include people from all over the world to upload to flash video (. flv)file.
At the same time, the software must have the ability to crop and trim video files.
As far as I know, Adobe®Flash®These tasks can be done by media interaction server 3.
Adobe®Flash®Media Interaction Server 3 software has a unique combination of powerful streaming capabilities and flexible environments that can create and deliver interactive social media applications for the widest possible audience.
So Adobe®Flash®Media Interactive server 3 is great if you can afford it.
However, I think there are many other solutions to achieve the same ultimate goal.
Last but not least, there must be a flash video (. flv)
Player that can play video uploaded by all.
So YouTube needs a manufacturer of flash video players to make a flash video player to play these flash Video files.
However, there are some basic requirements for the production of flash video players.
The generated flash video player must play any number of flash videos using a single flash video player, because it is impossible for a player to play only one flash video file.
It must be used with scrollable thumbnail playlists, etc.
So far Moyea Webplayer Pro can do this and I also use it on my own website.
This is a multi-function manufacturer of flash video players.
With it, you can design your own player user interface, create a scrolling thumbnail playlist, and you can add ads to your flash video.
This is a very interesting program.
The generated flash video player can add single or multiple videos in multiple formats to the website.
Flash video players support playing video formats that Adobe Flash players can handle, such as FLV, MOV, MP4, 3GP, 3G2, and h264.
However, it is very complicated to fully implement the functions of YouTube.
I\'m sorry I can\'t write all the details on it.
I hope this article will serve as a general guide. ----------(c)Copyright -Stephen Miller.
