View 4 Replieshow I would be able to set up streaming video on a server for live video as well as archived videos? We've got a client who is requesting streaming events live, bandwidth on our end shouldn't be an issue however I'm wondering where I would start? I've done streaming audio before but I have never done streaming video.

I have a video streaming which is consuming around 3000gb of bandwidth presently its on citrex shared hosting i was thinking to move site to a dedicated box i have almost no knowledge of server setup are there some host who can help me setup these requirements and move site to dedicated box?
please note :- site is adult video sharing site ...
A client has contacted me about live streaming. He wants to broadcast a live meeting over the internet so that other people can watch it.
I've never looked in to something like this - I guess I need to find some software that will let me re-broadcast the stream - ie someone at the meeting would connect to my server and stream it up to the server, and my server would then broadcast it out to anyone who is connected.
So, what sort of software should I be looking at? Are there any guides around on the internet or anything that can help me out?
I have been looking through the forum, but I have had a hard time finding much about this topic. I am attempting to broadcast live video feed on my website and I wanted to set it up so people can view the live streaming video directly on their web browser. I use mostly Windows based servers(Windows 2003 Server and XP Pro). I have looked at different video streaming programs like flash, media player, and divx, which would be the best for what I am trying to do? Computer power and bandwidth are not an issue with my current setup. If anyone has any experience or knowledge on this I would be very grateful for your input. I would appreciate any information involving any of the steps in this process from capturing the video to having users access it on my website.

We are looking at Iwebs Power Servers.
2 x Xeon Quad Core 2.0Ghz
320GB SATA 2
8Gb Ram
10,000GB transfer a month
100mbps link
$240 a month.
We plan on updating the site to run .NET 3.5, this adds $70 month onto the price. Seems like good deal. Can anybody recommend anything better.
For an extra $200 we can upgrade to SCSI. How much will this improve the performance.
Most of our users are in the US and Australia, Iweb servers are located in Montreal Canada. How much will this effect the perfomace of our site.
I have read that some hosts have ffMpeg, Menecoder, FMS3 already installed can andybody point me into the direction of one of these
I would like to know if there is anything specific I need to know before I open a video streaming site (Examples: Veoh, dailymotion, etc etc). Are there any laws or rules I should follow?
Plus regarding the copyrighted materials I remember there is a US law (I don't live in the US but whatever) that says after you get an email from the company that holds the copyrights regarding a video or whatever you've got some days (? or hours?) in order to remove that content and show "good will" following the rules (Safe Harbor) and they don't "harm" you. Anyone know more regarding this issue?
And one last thing. If I don't store users information (IPs, ISP, etc) which will show that they uploaded the video, in a situation of a copyrighted content will I get in trouble since I can't prove I didn't upload the files?
And last but not least any suggestions on the software and of course the most important the hosting company I should go with?
I produce video. My clients want to put education archival video content (Windows media) for students on the web. At most 10 students a day will log on for a few hours.
I also have clients that want live windows media video streaming. Up to 50 users logging in at most for a 3 hour lecture, only a couple times a year at this point.
I'd like to use one company for the archival(on demand) and live web casting/streaming. Any ideas? Or should I just use 2 different hosting companies? Please tell me companies that you like and have used!
I have a client who wants a bulletproof video feature for his information/news site.
What's the best bet? Some of the FMS companies I've looked at give you 500 simultaneous streams for like $900/mo. What happens when #501 logs on? This is a series of sports events where they expect peaks on certain days, then long periods in between with lower, but still steady, traffic.
My new business will make or break, based on the speed at which a video loads.
Can anyone let me know of the absolute best hosting for a streaming video?
Is it Amazons?
I can remember reading about some service amazon offers, where depending on the location
of the visitor it will load from a server nearest to them.
Am I making that up, or did I see that somewhere?
I have a client who is hosted on the following VPS:
256 Guaranteed RAM
10 GB Storage
100 GB Bandwidth
Virtuozzo Power Panel
Plesk Control Panel
The guy runs a vBulletin forum on it which is working fine.
I intends to install: CodeMight Video CMS 2.0 a Video Sharing Module on the VPS now.
Will the above mentioned server suffice both vBulletin and Video CMS?
Hi Im new to this and about to launch a site where visitors to the site can upload videos and then they can be checked by me and then submitted to the site. Im looking for a hosting account which wont be madly expensive.
Ive heard about unmetred etc, but ive also heard about being charged large bills for excessive bandwidth etc..
Can anyone recommend a good solution to me that wont literally cost the earth?
(Poss about 1000gb Bandwidth PM)
I have a client who wants to build a subscription online training site. This site will be hosting proprietary videos that need to be streamed (vs. downloaded).
Can anyone recommend a reliable hosting provider that:
- Supports ecommerce
- Supports streamed Flash video
- Provides a way to control user's access to videos (only access what they've purchased)
I would like to stream from my home theatre PC over the internet via my linux server. I have a dedicated server with CentOS 5.2, it's main function is to host a vbulletin forum but I would also like to stream video from my HTPC and offer it to my members.
Does anyone know of any software that can achieve this?
I work for an NFP and have multiple video files I'd like to setup on my current webserver. As you can guess, i don't have the sufficient bandwidth to support the traffic.
What's the best/most cost-efficient option? What would be ideal is to embed a player into our webpages (similar to what youtube provides) and the streaming is done in the background by the hosting provider. Obviously, there are legal issues around putting this content on any of the free or public video-sharing sites.
Is this something VPS can do or are there separate options?
We're not looking for domain names, IP's or much sophistication other than just hosting the video files and providing us with instructions/code on how to embed inside our existing website.
I will buy a new Dell server to stream webcasts and also do live streaming.
I will buy a PowerEdge 2950 III with 2 CPU's 2.5 GHZ and 8MB Ram.
What of servers are used by hosts offering packages with this type of support?
I've read that streaming can be made via web server and streaming media server. The first type has only one advantage and this is that it allows to utilize existing infrastructure, while the second type offers more effective network throughput and (what's more important for me as an end-user) allows for better video and audio quality and support of the advanced features.
Now looking at the hosting plans how do I tell which type of server is used by the host?
I'm interested in this particular plan

I have a friend who has a film production company and he wants to run a site where video clips will be streamed and made available for download.
A developer suggested that we go in either for a VPS or a large shared hosting account, but have the video files stored on Amazon S3 and streamed/downloaded from there. According to the developer, this way, we could make the best use of available resources as Amazon S3 is cheap for storage and we don't need to spend on a dedicated server just for serving the video.
I have plans for developing a regional (Turkish) video sharing site for domestic uses only (Youtube in our country is still banned and people don't know dailymotion.com).
Cheapest bandwith I can ever find is on leasweb.com (199 eur / 100Mbit, 1069 eur = 1000Mbit). Can you recommend me some bandwith deals? I know some providers like ovh gives 100Mbit for europe traffic, I believe Turkey is considered in this Europe traffic (we have multiple connections to pop locations in Germany, France, Amsterdam etc).
Considering that fact, can I use ovh or dedibox?
I'm the owner of pwn-tube.com and am looking for a dedicated server. It needs to have at least a 250gb hard drive, preferably two in raid. The processor needs to be good enough to convert the files while still keeping a site up and going. For RAM I'm guessing 2-4GB. But most importantly it needs to have unmetered bandwidth, and a 100mbps port, with room to upgrade.
I am expecting to host a sequel to a video exclusively, and the first video had 100,000 views. I'm also going to partner up with a game publisher with 16 million gamers.
I'd like a host that can grow as my user base grows. I'd like to stream video, similar to what revision3.com does.
But I'd also like the ability to do live streaming video.
what the best server option for this is out there? Which company?
I have a new venture where I'm going to be using a ton of overseas bandwidth. The total bandwidth usage will be in the several GBPS arena. What I'm wondering is who has the best international routes and network?

I'm starting a video/music streaming network and I'm wondering should I stick to American hosts or go overseas to say the Netherlands? Which would be able to offer me a bit more bandwidth for a reasonable price?
Also, if there are any top hosts here that could offer some nice bandwidth for this type of service for a reasonable price, let me know about them to.
My website provides streaming videos of live events through a third party software called Sopcast.
Currently i have hosted it on a shared server which cannot high CPU load when an event occurs. The hosting company takes down my website.
I am looking for need a solution by which thousand of visitors can watch the video at any given time. The streaming videos are not hosted on my website. I need a dedicated server that can manage high CPU load.
Are there any out there? I need a personal server which can do VPN protocols and transfer data consistently at 20mbps on a single connection. Preferably a host with good connectivity and fewer hops to Asia where I am located.
