Ok, so I'm thinking of starting a tube site. Need input.
 

So what would be the best script in your opinion? Talking about those available for a couple 100 bucks, no custom stuff.

What is the pros and cons in your opinion?

I read that TEVS does not convert videos to flash, does that mean I can't have flash videos if I choose TEVS?

Anyone tried that new script from Godsmack(smart-scripts)? Apparently you have to buy a "add-on" for $200 to convert movies to flash for this one.

Grateful for any and all help :thumbsup

Your right, TEVS doesn't convert videos in any format. You can upload FLV videos or hotlink wmv/mpg/flv videos from your server or the sponsors server.
You can also use embed codes, like perfect gonzo or youtube has.

Any questions, let me know.

:pimp.......

Sortie just installed his tube cgi script on one of my domains for free and my designer was able to add a header , import a video and throw up the framework of a site pretty quickly with the default settings. There are still a few things we are trying to figure out to make it work the way I want. I wish I could see some other sites running it to get a few ideas beyond the default. I saw a couple sites running it that were very similar and another site that was completely unrecognizable as the same script.

if your looking for a script that converts check out
Nubiles Tube Script

Inside the affiliates area. Im sure there are many others out there but this one can do what you need aswell. Good luck with it

hit up Konrad if you want a good script, it's custom but not too expensive

Since I don't think I will be hosting the videos my self, atleast not for starters TEVS would be a good choice? I can still use sponsor flash-embedded videos and just regular mpg,vmw free hosted gallery videos and they will work as on www.tiavastube.com for example (although they host their own videos)?

I want this tube site to be quality, original ~10 word descriptions on the front page for each video and ~50 word descriptions on the clip page for each video. I guess any tube script can be customized to work with that.

Anyone know how much it would ~ cost to get a custom design and have it implemented into say TEVS?

Check out our free script Nubiles Tube Script. Do your research but our script has a lot more to offer then anything else on the market paid or free.

konrad for sure. but if its cheap u want, smart thumbs one looks good

I have a decent niche domain for it that has 5 years age into it so I don't want to screw up in the begining either. I want a custom theme for it, any idea what price we talking for that?

Here's a bump for me, hope to get some good advice regarding tube sites while I sleep, Good night people :)
