I've been googling for hours and I'm not sure which way to turn. I am creating a site needs to allow the user to upload a short video to display on a dynmically created page (its for a real estate classified ad site).
So where do I begin? It appears flv is the best format but I don't know that every user will upload in that format. Also, I don't know what sort of script I should be using for a player. I also need to store these videos in a database so I hope they are somewhat compressed somehow.
Can someone steer me in the right direction on what is the best way to display video on a website? Are there simple scripts to use? Is there a certain player that plays all sorts of formats? I just don't know the best way.
Thanks!
