Anybody know how to upload video using ASP.NET?

[mujin03]

I want to upload some multimedia file to my website. Just like Youtube does. However, I searched google and didn't find any samples. It seems like there is a control called CSUpload Controls in .Net 2.0. But not sure whether it can load video file.

I'm not too sure about ASP, but basically the way YouTube does it is: You upload using the "files" input type (HTML). They use php. In php to get a file that was uploaded you call the global variable "$_FILES['filename']" once they file passes a serious of security checks it is stored in a temporary directory. They then connect to Macromedia Flash encoder using PHP's command line abilities. When it is encoded into flash it is stored on a server ready to be requested by TouTubers. See: Here for Uploading in PHP[^] Here for PHP command line stuff[^] Here for info on the Flash encoder[^]

Right... because a "video file" is not a "file". :rolleyes:

Yes I can understand your difficulty since they hide that information in the documentation[^] :omg:
