hi there,
i would like to develop a cms in order to sell training videos using scriptcase. is it in some way possible to use .flv video upload? next question: is it possible to bind a player that has preview image or even a preview of the video that is restricted to like 30sec. for guests…for this i need to check on user level within my page cms. anyhow…uploading videos would be interesting…
Re: video and media upload
hi. I am interested in this type of thing as well.
it almost sounds like you might need 2 videos. one a short or edited sample or preview. maybe the short on stored on youtube with embed code in SC? I have had some success with storing training materials, like flash stuff or images, using a folder that is programatically changed to a random number say every hour. The same script also does a config file update, so that when someone has access to a link on a training page, what they get is a link created dynamically by the cms (more an LMS) which has the link number in it. that way, if someone stores or shares the link outside of the authorized page, it goes bad in an hour.
Otherwise you end up storing huge binary blobs in your database, which may or may not be a problem.
Anyway, i hope we can explore the options here in this thread.

Re: video and media upload
yes…i searched the net for such components (with Joomla), but unfortunatly there are no good extensions. But, however, I will go with a membership mamanger which will use credits and scriptcase could give me the opportunity to develop my own CMS in order to upload and manage content. Only thing needed I mentioned above…video upload on hosted server and binding a player which can be configured for preview (either 30sec or a second advertising video).
