YouTube.NET?​??

Hi!

I am looking for an ASP.NET solution to host private videos on my Server….something like YouTube J

Do you know something like this?

 

Regards,

You might want to watch the Windows Live webcast tomorrow. It's part four in a series. Cool stuff happening.

where I can watch the web cast?

and what can I use for now to host my provate videos on ASP.NET?

If you're looking for a prefab solution, this one is as good as any (in flash) - all you do is convert your videos to FLV format and point the flash object to grab it.

If you're looking at not having to convert your videos, then you can make use of the new and fangled Microsoft Silverlight thing (requires a 2MB download from people who haven't installed it yet). These tend to be nicer quality but take slightly longer to buffer. Example.

As a techhy-person I would strongly advise the Silverlight version, since it tends to give a nicer resolution to the videos and be nicer to code with, but as a user I would probably advise the Flash solution, since most people have Adobe Flash installed, and not so many people have the Silverlight plugin installed (it's free and only 2MB tho).

Happening today that is, I forgot to look at the clock. http://www.microsoft.com/events/webcasts/upcoming.mspx

Well, you still have to convert your vids to WMV for Silverlight

Doesn't it just use the same MediaControl that WPF uses? If so, you can use any format that has a codec that WindowsMediaPlayer has.

Apparently not, 'cuz Silverlight runs on Safari.

Use silverlight's builtin video control

Apparently Windows Media Player is not a Windows-only thing:

OK, you're making me do work now...

per an FAQ:

What audio or video formats are supported in Silverlight?

Silverlight supports Windows Media Audio and Video (WMA, WMV7–9) and VC-1, as well as MP3 audio. Additional formats may be available over time based on customer feedback.

Using the word 'runs' is overly generous, maybe stumbles along with frequent falls is more realistic?

Also I am investigating about Silverlight like Youtube site.The possibility to do it sounds great. Also I saw the swfobjetc and the embed tag in Flash with FLV, I don't like the compression and loss here. If someone knows information about it, please tell me. SIlverlight attracted my atention with HD suppot. Also I like the compression with Expression Encoder. Accessing XAML in the tool is great. I have a core2duo Mac Intel and a Core2Duo PC with XP. SIlverlight runs awesome. The animation is really fluid. Also I hosted an application in linux and it runs perfect: www.viewpoint.cl/silverlight I'm working in a site with SIlverlight, It's under construction, but you can see a preview: www.hsicomputers.net I DID ALL THE ELEMENTS WITH XAML in the home silverlight application, please see the awesome drawing tool, it allows me to animate vector in a cool way. Only the movie is bitmap, the WMV movie runs only if you press Play button, it runs very fast(play is at right in the silverlight windows) The first animation is XAML path! This vector looks like bitmap. The drawing and brushes tools with easy alpha layers helps to do it. Thanks

Well, I guess being cool does have a price after all.
