Aurigma Video Uploader

Video Uploader is a component for those who want to receive user-uploaded videos without having to buy and maintain a costly infrastructure.

Normally, it would take you to maintain a really powerful server farm to process all incoming videos before publishing them. Video Uploader has a different approach. It does transcoding, compression, resize and other operations client-side, i.e. before uploading the video. It also allows end users to specify the required portion of the entire video that's necessary to upload. This way, it saves your servers a great load and reduces inbound traffic.

Also, it's very important that Video Uploader uses an absolutely royalty-free format for uploading videos - WMV. That means, you can upload and publish as many hours/megabytes of videos as you like, without paying anything to any third party.

Video Uploader provides a user-friendly graphical user interface. Users can select videos for uploading, specify target frame size, bitrate, start and end time for the uploaded video slice, etc. Transcoding progress and upload progress is shown via a progress bar.

Video Uploader comes with an ASP.NET control for Microsoft Visual Studio. It provides for WYSIWYG integration and configuration of the uploader directly on the web page in Design mode.

Also, a PHP class library is supplied to embed and configure the uploader in native PHP code.

For the web site owner, Video Uploader provides substantial benefits:

• All video processing: resize, recompression, watermarking, etc. is performed on the client computers. This means your servers are relieved from a tremendous load.
• No codecs are needed to be installed server-side. Video Uploader transcodes any video that can be played back by the user computer.
• Videos are uploaded to server in the industry-standard WMV format. WMV has substantial advantages over FLV and other formats. WMV is free of any royalty charges; it can be played back in any free Silverlight video player, etc.
• Video Uploader supports all HTTP-compliant server platforms, including ASP.NET, PHP, Coldfusion, Ruby, etc.

Video Uploader has essentially customizable appearance and behavior. It’s easily localizable. You can modify the uploader look and feel to perfectly fit into your web site.

The uploader has comprehensive documentation with a complete class reference. This way, you will be able to make use of every uploader feature you might need.
