TubeX has built in features to convert uploaded videos into a standard format that can be played by Flash video players. It can encode to the following formats:
* Flash (.flv) - Using the H.263 video and MP3 audio codecs
* Flash (.flv) - Using the VP6 video and MP3 audio codecs
* MPEG4 (.mp4) - Using the H.264 video and AAC audio codecs
Encoding to these different formats requires the mencoder program, and it will need to be compiled with H.264, VFW, AAC, and MP3 support if you want to be able to select from all of those three formats.
-Import from feeds: In addition to allowing end-users to upload their videos, you can also import videos from various sources. The current version of
TubeX can import videos from YouTube feeds and RSS feeds supporting the <videos> format (many adult sponsors offer these types of feeds). All you have to do is enter the URL to the feed, and
TubeX takes care of the rest. You can even schedule the feeds to be read at a specific interval (using your server's cron system) so that you have fresh content added to your video site on a regular basis!
-Import from dumps: Many sponsors are now providing hosted video files, and have systems in place to automatically generate a dump of those videos.
TubeX can import videos from these dump files, allowing you to add several hundred videos at a time very quickly to your database. The video files will be hotlinked from the sponsor's server, so you won't be using your bandwidth. Plus, you'll get paid for any sales you refer!
TubeX supports nearly any format of dump file available since you will be able to specify the character that is used as the delimiter and tell the software the format of the dump file. You won't need to spend hours re-arranging the data, so you can get content into your tube site quickly and with very little effort.
-User Accounts: The user account system of
TubeX allows you to build a community around your video site. The user account system has support for profiles, avatars, allows posting of comments, rating videos, flagging inappropriate videos, or indicating that a quality video should be featured. Users can edit their account profiles at any time and view other user profiles. Of course one of the main reasons for having user accounts is to support video uploads. Each user will optionally be able to upload videos which they can also manage through their account control panel.
- Comments, ratings, and favorites: Allowing your users to interact with each other and the videos on your site is an important aspect in retaining return visitors to your site.
TubeX allows users to post comments for videos, rate videos, and mark videos as one of their favorites. Through the account control panel, users will be able to see their favorites so they can quickly get back to them and also remove videos that they no longer want to be a favorite.
Comments can be throttled so that the same user doesn't spam a video with many comments at once, and you can also optionally require a CAPTCHA code to submit comments.
-Complete stats tracking:
TubeX has a complete stats tracking system that will record the number views, ratings, and favorites that each video receives. Stats will be tracked on a daily, weekly, monthly, and all-time basis so your end users will be able to quickly find the most popular videos for specific time frame.
In addition to tracking stats for videos,
TubeX will also track stats for each user. The number of videos each user views, the number they upload, and the number of times a user's profile is viewed are just some of the stats that are tracked. These stats are also tracked on a daily, weekly, monthly, and all-time basis for a better breakdown of what is happening on your site.
-Free upgrades and support for life: When you purchase
TubeX you will have access to all future versions at no extra cost. This is one of the most important things you should consider when purchasing software. When you look at the purchase price of a program, you must also figure in the cost to upgrade when new versions are released. With
TubeX, you don't have to do that. The price you pay now guarantees you access to all future versions.
You will also have free access to tech support for life, so you can be assured that any time you have an issue you will be able to get assistance. Tech support is handled through a forum interface, so you can easily search past messages to see if your issue is the same that someone else was experiencing. This way you can often times get an answer to your question within a matter of minutes!
