There are some web masters out there including my self that would like to have a site similar to YouTube. Ok, not the huge bandwidth bills and copyright issues! But if you are looking to create a site using a website builder where you can have members add videos, pictures and even music then this list might be a good start.

Background Process Video Conversion
Video Conversion can now be performed in a background server process. After a successful upload, the member doesn’t have to wait (loading the page) until the conversion process is finished; he is instantly redirected to a Success page, while the video is converted in the background, and will become available on the website when ready. This solves many time out problems experienced while uploading/converting big files.

Hi there,
My partner and I have a URL and an idea for a media sharing site. We want people to be able to share videos, audio and even documents and have them rated on a 1-10 scale, not the Ajax 5-star scale.
We need the site up and running, hosting, etc.
How can you help?
Thanks.
Kevin
I am pretty sure TopMediaScript you can. You also could use numbers instead of star images but it will still be Ajax.
WOW! that Vidiscript is very bad! I would advise that nobody uses that pile of crap! TMS has some of the best support in the biz and is so easy to work with, thanks for this great post!
I have used php motion for anim8stopmotion.com and have been fairly happy with it so far.
Cool thanks Jeremy! I wish there was a way for me to switch. One of my media sites is huge and I am now stuck…. Oh well
Yeah thats the problem, once they get to a certain size they are hard to manage. I use a one named Metube its free but has its limitations
