Where to share videos

Making your own site of selected videos

The sites of video sharing permit to display the videos hosted by them on other sites to increase their audience. You can build site dedicated to that without any programming by using a CMS.
The list of PHP CMS will indicate to you the content management system making it possible to automatically manage the display and the administration of pages and categories, with in particular digg-like software as Pligg or PHP Director. By "digg-like" one understands a site where visitors can give a score to the articles to support the best ones.
However, in the field of the selections of videos, competition is important. Many other sites are given in the list of the digg-likes. They are only the most popular and to the list must be added again all the sites that are not digg-like...

How to edit a video and put it on a website

The online tool Popcorn Maker from Mozilla, based on the framework popcorn.js, helps edit videos that you have made ​​yourself or taken on a sharing site. You can for example add text or images.

To put a video on a site, you have to use the embed or object tags. Youtube provides the full code with its videos and it uses both at the same time.

Example of Youtube code:

<object width="425" height="350">
<param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/asPLVNqEmyo" name="movie" />
<param value="transparent" name="wmode" />
<embed width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" 
   type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
   src="http://www.youtube.com/v/asPLVNqEmyo">
</embed>
</object>

Example of code for Collegehumor:

<embed src="http://www.collegehumor.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1767784" 
    quality="best" width="400" height="300" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</embed>

The JavaScript code remains always unchanged, only the number is specific to the video. One can thus get the number on the host and use it with the code in example.

Using the YouTube API, you can customize the player and even use a search function to let it select himself which video to play, depending on the content of the article. See this article on a simplified means of automatically select Youtube videos.
