Make your own Video Sharing Website

// May 3rd, 2008 // Scripts, Software

Ever wanted to have a site similar to Youtube or any other video sharing website? I know that it needs a lot of space and bandwith but that can be bought from almost any hosting company. What is really the trouble is how will you get the script. Of course you could hire someone to make it, but it would cost a lot (minimum 500$ if you are really lucky). Well, now you have a much cheaper (actually free) alternative.

PHPmotion is a free video and music sharing script. It is easy to install and configure and can be used by anyone that has basic knowledge of the internet. You don’t have to do any programming. Just upload and install.


It can run on almost any linux server as long as it has FFMpeg-PHP plugin installed. The requirements of the script are:

- PHP 4.3 and above (including support of CLI)
- MySQL database server
- LAME MP3 Encoder
- Libogg + Libvorbis
- Mencoder and also Mplayer
- FFMpeg-PHP
- GD Library 2 or higher
- CGI-BIN
- Be able to run background processes


Also you can find other templates for the script that are really easy to install. With this script you can make your own video/music sharing website in just a few minutes. And if you need help, there is a forum where other users will answer your question. And if you don’t have a host, don’t worry, you can find grate offers right from the website. So what are you waiting for? Go get it now.
