Hey, that's a cool site!!
Hey, that's a cool site!! Nice work!
Do you mind if I ask a (what is potentially dumb) question?
When I look at your videos (like here: http://stars-of-the-web.com/en/node/923 ) I see your logo 'bug' in the lower right of the video screen. Is that something that's automatically added when users upload their video?? Or are you adding that later?
Are you hosting the videos or are they remotely hosted? (I'm super afraid of hosting video myself)
Thank you! :-) First, users
Thank you! :-)
First, users cannot upload videos or audio files. The videos and audio files are entirely recorded through your computer microphone or webcam (through a flash-based application). And yes, the "logo bug" is added automatically to the video player.
I am hosting the videos by myself. Why are u afraid of hosting videos?

I have a site with 36,000+ registered members, and with NO media files, we're already on a mega server just to handle the bandwidth. I can't imagine what the bandwidth would be if I hosted their media...yikes! What kind of server are you using?
I see your point. I am just
I see your point.
I am just using a standard server with some amount of monthly bandwidth. But I have to admit that the average video recording just uses about 10mb... and I don't have thousands of members... yet ;-)

Flash tool for audio and video recording
Great site!
Where did you get those great flash based webcam and audio recording tools? Did you write your own? If so, will you make them open source?
Good luck with your launch.
Thanks! I developed the
Thanks! I developed the flash-based video and audio recorder by myself. I was thinking of making them open source...
For your information, they use the XMLRPC interface of drupal to post audio and video files.

These tools would make it so much easier for users to contribute multimedia content -- perfect for Drupal and other CMS's.

audio/video recording is definitely a module that may need to be developed--even if it requires additional hosting, e.g. Flash Media Server.
Greate module !!!
We looking forward to publish the module under GPL

How does your audio recorder work?
Dear Chris,
What a great site!!
I've implemented a series of modules that allow users to add and check content to/from their Drupal sites via telephone (for an example, please get in touch with me via email leoburd at media dot mit dot edu) and I was starting to plan a way for my users to record audio directly from the site. I was thinking about doing that using Java, since I've heard that the Flash audio codec was proprietary and really hard to export as MP3 or Wav.
Anyway, do you use XML-RPC to upload the audio contents? What is the format of the audio being uploaded? So that you know, I've also written a XML_RPC extension to audio.module. My plan is to release my modules as open source in a couple of months, but things seem to be working quite well, already.
Looking forward to talking to you soon,
.L.
Awesome
That's great stuff ... like odeo or bubbleshare ... We'd love to incorporate at least direct audio recording for users on the site we're building. I do hope you choose to make your solution open source or at least give us some hints as to how you did it!
Looking forward to watching your site grow, Chris. Best of luck with it!

New FlashVideo module
Hey guys,
I just submitted a new module that should do everything that this site does, called FlashVideo module. Check it out at
http://www.drupal.org/project/flashvideo
I have also written a complete tutorial on how to use this module at http://www.travistidwell.com/flashvideo.
Let me know what you think,
Travis.
New FlashVideo Module
Thanks for a great contribution. However the site mentioned does not upload audio or video files, rather it records videos and audio files through the user's computer microphone or webcam. Will that be possible through your module? Thanks in advance,
Recording the user's audio
Recording the user's audio or video is a real cool feature. I hope you release it at some point. ;)
Are you use a Flash plugin for drupal?

Or anyone know what Flash plugin can do the same thing?

No, I just programmed a flash application which is working with a flash media server. The flash application is just embedded in a static drupal page.
