Server Video Primer

We created a system of melding web based surveys and web based videos together. It wasn't as simple as I thought.

I had to explain some things to the executives so I'm sharing them here.

 

I'll answer the part about the technologies and leave the stuff about the menu options aside for now.

Basically you need the capacity to upload a video, show it to the respondent (I”m calling them that for now), have them answer questions and process the results. You also mentioned at one point that it should be as portable — i.e. easy to install and use on other servers — if possible.

All we’re concerned about here is the first two — upload and show.

Note here that the reason we show this is because we’ve incorporated the management of the resulting video content into the content management system. This is is key and easy to miss actually. Otherwise is is like a rehash or showing other peoples technology for no reason. For instance one can embed VideoEgg into a Blogger page so its not a big deal just to be able to offer it. It is a big deal if you can utilize it for things like you have in mind. As far as the CMS is concerned the Videoegg, Google, Local Transcode, whatever are all the same.
