southy277 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Is it possible / or worth while setting up a video / media section either on the website or forum where members (or just admin after approval) can upload video created or meeting replays?

LeeK39 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Is it possible / or worth while setting up a video / media section either on the website or forum where members (or just admin after approval) can upload video created or meeting replays? It was something we were going to add into the website a while back but we were trying to find the best way for layouts and integrating videos into the site and not totally kill loading times etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aub Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Is it not possible to add videos in a forum post on here? Ive been on loads of forums where this is possible is ours just old and out of date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboss Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 It is certainly possible with these type of forums but, as LeeK, mentioned above this will eat away at the sites bandwidth and webspace. The best alternative would be for UKDirt to create a YouTube account and host all videos there, away from it's own webspace, thus saving on bandwidth and not compromising on server load times. By hosting the videos on YouTube, UKDirt could also take advantage of the possible cross-site traffic, meaning YouTube users that 'stumble' across the videos simply by typing 'Banger Racing' or F1 Stock Cars' in the YouTube search box may not know what UKDirt is and visit the site to find out, meaning possible new signups direct from this source.
