Hey guys, first, does anyone know what format youtube is converting their video's to? .flv? .mp4?

I'm developing a non adult site where you can upload videos. Its not really going to be like a tube site, but I'm really open for suggestions for scripts that can do this on the server side.

I'm open for anything, pay and free. I just need a converter and I thought maybe I would ask some of your guys because I'm really not sure whats out there these days.

Thanks in advance

ffmpeg does the job. it's kind of shit but w/e it's FREE

youtube licenses proprietary codec. it's expensive....don't bother.

Tube sites lose money.

I'm totally done with letting people watch shit for free in hopes that 7% of your visitors will click your ads. more like 1% for adult but anyways....well 20% if you do shady ad clickjacking like many ppl do in adult niche.

Hey neon, I actually just found ffmpeg and I honestly appreciate your input.

Yeah this is just actually going to be portfolio work for me, but I'll be launching the site for a hobby that i have.

Thanks again and any other input is welcome

I read something about pseudo streaming and Lighttpd.
