Large Video Files Need To Be Streamed
Mar 30, 2007
I am developing a web application for a private investigative firm. They do surveillance work and therefore have surveillance videos. I would like the capabilities of uploading the videos online and allowing the client to login and view their surveillance video online.
Currently, we get the video from the PI, put it on a DVD and then mail it to the client.
This takes too long. We want the client to be able to view the video online.
Some of these videos can be up to 2 hours long.
First, is this even possible?
Second,
- how much bandwidth would a website like this take?
- Is there a host that can hold hundreds of GB of video?
I want to convert it to flash to save file size and also so I can stream it.

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've got a client who wants to host audio files... Here are the sizes:
50 x 75MBs
300 x 10MBs
400 x 5MBs
That totals 8750MBs or 8.75GBs... If he gets hundreds of visitors, it could end up being 1000's of GBBs or bandwidth.
I don't know what to look for to support so much bandwidth... Do you buy bandwidth? Are their special companies out their that host it for you?

I'm currently building a large guitar lesson website that will launch around the end of the year or so. Basically there will be multiple instructors on the site who submit video files from 10mb to 20mb in size each. There will eventually be a couple thousand videos on the site, so around 30gb of disk space right there give or take. So I need plenty of disk space.
I'm on a shared hosting account right now with iPowerweb, and that of course won't do me much good once the site's up and running. Plus they have a 12mb upload limit, but the instructors need to upload videos larger than that. And I'm aware that with a VPS I'd be able to set my own upload file size limit.
Anyway, this server stuff gives me a headache and I feel totally clueless. I've always loved the basic shared account because I don't have to do anything to keep the server in tact. But from what I've read, a VPS or dedicated server would take a lot of work on my part. So for that reason, I'm guessing I would need a managed VPS or managed dedicated server. I don't totally know what "managed" means, but hopefully to where I wouldn't have to do any upkeep. I need to focus my time on a bazillion other things besides the server, so it'd be nice to find a plan where I wouldn't have to worry about server security updates, software updates, and any other server maintenance etc.
I need tons of bandwidth. It's going to be a membership site with hundreds and eventually thousands of members who all watch the lesson videos. So that's a ton of bandwidth. I'll be the only one on my server though, I'm not going to also host clients or anything.
I'll of course need super reliability. With eventually having thousands of members, my site needs to be totally professional with near flawless uptime.
So I'm thinking I'd want to start off with AT LEAST 40gb of disk space, but 60gb might be better. At least 1000gb transfer, but again, maybe more? And I guess a lot of ram, although I admit I hardly know what ram is haha, does that have to do with the speed of the site? And what's burstable ram? But yes, I'd need to have a server that can handle all the many files and users, with great uptime and great speed.
Budget-wise, I'd like to keep it under $70 or $80 a month if possible. If absolutely necessary, maybe a little more.
Anyway, if you guys were in my shoes, what would you do. Assuming you're clueless about VPS, and have the needs mentioned above. Any host recommendations or advice?
Price-wise and size-wise, Start Logic looks pretty good, but I think their VPSs are all unmanaged. Ive looked at a lot of other companies, but it's hard to find the right plan.

I'm currently a video sharing site and I'm aiming for large videos (around 500MB - 1GB), now I have to take into account an average user should only be able to do 30k-50k per sec.
So the session_timeout and upload_max need to be adjusted. Anybody with experience with large upload sites ?

Can anyone recommend the best cost-effective solution for serving up video files to websites on other servers?
Basically looking for a central storage location to hold video files (flv, swf) that will be hotlinked from websites on other servers.
I'm currently using about 200GB bandwidth monthly, and need to increase that to about 500GB without violating any TOS or getting cut-off/suspended.
Not sure if the best option will be a hosting account, file storage site, etc.

Linux Fedora 6, Apache 2 with Mod Security, MySQL.
Our mod_sec logs get incredibly large very quickly. In the configuration for mod_security, we have specified logging options as
SecAuditEngine RelevantOnly
SecAuditLogRelevantStatus "^[45]"
but the mod_sec.log gets to almost 10 GB (in a matter of 5-6 days) before it is truncated to mod_sec.log.1 and a new one is created.
Is there a way we can specify that a max size of one log file is 1 GB, for example?
Or another question, how come it gets so huge so quickly? We thought that logging "RelevantOnly" will only display errors / requests that are deemed security risks.

I have a customer who wants to sell access to videos of conferences he runs.
Each flv vid is approx 1 - 1 1/2 hors long approx 380MB each and there will be about 12 videos per conference.
approx 4 - 8 conferences per year.
My customer suggests 10 - 20 people will buy access to watch each video.
Access to watch the videos will be through a password protected webpage.
issue - the current site hosting company only allow uploads up to 150MB per file.
Can I host the flash videos elsewhere and deliver them through the password protected web page without anyone else being able to see them via server they are hosted on?
This would also reduce the bandwidth going through his current site server.

I'm working on a web site which will basically be a flash games portal. I have a dedicated server running Apache 2 on a 100mbit dedicated line but my download speed for large files (flash files of over 5mbs) is really slow. I am thinking this is because of Apache but I don't know much about this. I've read that I should change for a lighter http server for serving static files. The way my server is set up is I have 2 virtual machines running, one doing the PHP processing and the other serving static files, both running Apache, so if I have to change HTTP server for the static files it would be very easy. Although I am not sure if this is necessary or if I can tune Apache to push files faster than this.

I'm facing a very strange FTP issue with one of my shared-hosting accounts, while all of my other servers are having no problems but only this one, when I try to upload a file (whatever file) larger than 500kb from my local PCs, in most cases, the file would stop uploading during the process and hang there until it times out.
There are 2 interesting things though:
The file transmission typically hangs when approximately 248kb of the file have been transferred, pls see the attached screenshot for example.
If you look at the attached screenshot, you will notice that the uploading transmission hangs when 248kb of the file have been transferred. This is very strange and what I mean is that for example, I randomly pick up a file, and attempt to upload it onto my host for 10 times, now see, 5 times it will hang when 248kb of the total size have been transferred, 3 times it will hang at other points *near* 248kb (224kb or 280kb typically), 1 time it will hang at another random point, and 1 time it might be uploaded successfully (yes, there is still a tiny chance for the file to be uploaded successfully).
My default internet uploading speed is 80kb/s-100kb/s, lately I found that, when I limit the uploading speed on my FTP client (e.g. max. 30kb/s), everything WILL WORK without any problem! No hangs, no interrupt.. Whereas when I free up the uploading speed limitation and let it upload with my regular speed, the problem appears again.
It seems to me that the FTP hangs only when the uploading speed is higher than 60kb/s. However my host provider told me that they have customers uploading without any problem at over 400kb/s, and they said "there's no problem or limitations on the server at all".
Up until now, I have done following things to troubleshoot the issue but with no luck:
Contacted my host.
Disabled/Enabled the PASV mode on my FTP client.
Tried different FTP clients on different computers (FlashFXP and Filezilla).
Rebooted my router and reseted everything with the factory default settings.
Contacted my ISP for the issue, they "did something" but nothing were helpful.
Rebooted all my PCs.
Disabled both firewalls on my PC and on the router.
Furthermore, I have asked another friend of mine in another city with another ISP to test the FTP uploading, but unfortunately he got the exact same problem. And I've done some search on the internet for hours but no one seemed to have the same problem..

I use LXAdmin with HyperVM Control Panel

I have a debian box, and have archived a gallery in to a .tar file, 5.77gb.
I have a centOS box, and have used wget to bring the data file over to the new server.
However upon doing so it only detects it as 1.8gb when it starts downloading.
I have terminal access to both servers, just trying to bring my files over from one server to another.

Looking for a web hosting package for under $10/month that has large enough disk-space/bandwidth to allow me to backup large audio / video files to it, as well as the normal site operation (I use it for portfolio website, as well as hosting additional domains)

I have some 100's of MB's to move and I'm definitely not doing it by transferring it via my PC / FTP.
I seen all the tutorials on how to move your MySQL databases, but what about full folders etc, how do I move those (putty?)?

I have four servers with a quad xeon, 4gb ram, and 2x300GB SAS 15K RAID0 harddrives, pushing a total of 1.6gbits. It serves a lot of zip files with an average flesize of 180mb. My question is, how can I optimize lighttpd 1.4.19 to push its max with very low IO-wait. I've looked up some stuff and only found options that deal with lighttpd 1.5 and use Linux-AIO for the backend network. Currently I use writev with 16 workers and an read/write idle timeout of 10s. Logging is off, too.

Something weird happening here. I have tried every string possible...
There are a number of folders I want to remove off my server, tried the good old and simple...
rm -r /folder/
And then went and ended up with a string as long as my screen. No matter what I do, as it goes recursive in to the directory it asks me if I want to remove each file individually. No matter what string or action I take it insists on asking me as it goes to delete each file.
Could this be a configuration option in CentOS?

i just wana know is it safe to do remote daily backup for about 70,000 files?
file sizes is about 200kb and every day i have about 1000 new file, so rsync first should check old files becouse i am deleting about 30-50 of them daily and them backup new 1000 files ,
so how much it will take every time to compare that 70,000 files?
i have 2 option now:
1-using second hdd and raid 1
2-using rsync and backuping to my second server , so i can save about $70 each month.

to upload some flash videos over to our web host.
All the videos have been uploaded to << link removed >> and in there you will seea flash_video directory, in there should be a html file where you can double click and watch the flash video.
Now go ahead and try it, click on the HTML file and click CONTINUE and try clicking on MODULE 1.. You will see a video play to the left but on the right are bunch of POWERPOINT slides that will appear as the guy continues to speak. THAT DOESNT SHOW..
Our website is hosted by xo.com
Dont know much about the plan since its my 2nd day at the job..
But here is the weird part,
i have uploaded the samething - same exact way to another web host and it plays fine, the PPTs show up fine..
What do you guys think it is?
Before someone asks about uploading methods, i tried filezilla, coreftp and cuteFTP using both ASCII and binary methods. Samething..

In reference to my previous post, i want to tranfer accross 7GB of data, approximatly 80,000 files i believe it is (due to a gallery script).
It's currently on another host (on a webhosting account) which uses their own control panel which has no options but to manage databases, the only way i can see to do this is via FTP but it'll take me days. I've tried using compressing and backup scripts, but the damn execution time on the hosts server is too low to allow the files to be zipped. Are there any ways? Can i login to my VPS via SSH and anyhow pull off the files from the other hosts server?
