Hi Roger,
I just came across you wonderful tool, whille looking for the best tool for my project,
I am working on project, which includes sharing video & commenting system like you tube, sharing files and memebership roles.
The video size is typically 1 hour long. Is GSP able to handle streaming those long videos efficiently?
Are you doing any video converting before playing those files online?

Any insight is really helpful.
Thank you.

GSP does not convert videos during upload. Since you have very long videos, you will want to choose a format that supports progressive downloading. Any of the formats that play in Silverlight do this (wmv, mp4, asf, etc). I am not sure about some of the other plug-ins (Flash, DIVX).

Edit: I just noticed that the Flash video player *does* support progressive downloading, so it starts playing before the whole thing is downloaded. I also should point out that you will probably want to use FTP to transfer very large files to the server as HTTP can have problems.

It may be possible to use the streaming support that is available in IIS for true streaming capability, but I have not spent much time with that technology and don't know how well it works or whether it works with GSP.

Thank you Roger for your prompt response. I will look into the streaming video. What do you think of FFMPEG? When I look online for video
sharing scripts, I found a lot of php scripts with FFMPEG requirment. Can I use that technology with GSP just to convert video files?
PS: you have a beautiful Family ,Very nice photograph :-)
