Mr Me — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 20:24:40 +0000

I think, i am becoming jQuery fan day by day. If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch or iPad, try this url in your browser:

http://sajithmr.me/jqtouch/demos/main/

You will wonder for some minutes. Yes, it is not a application, it is a website and every action is created by our dearest jQuery using jQTouch library

This is the official site of jQTouch: http://www.jqtouch.com/

Wait for my post about integrating jQtouch in PhoneGap to create iPhone applications within minutes.

Last day i got a good website in which we can test the rendering of a particular website through different versions of interenet explorer. From a designer’s view, internet explorer is a life long head ache due its different alignment, floating problem, iframe problem, script execution problem and all.

Here , http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php , You can check your website through different internet explorer version. It will be useful for linux developers to test the website via internet explorer.No need to boot windows operating system.

Requirements for a Video Website

If you are planing to start a video website like youtube, here is some things to keep in mind.

FLV PLAYER
========

You know in now a days most of the video streaming websites use flash player for video streaming. The video file is in flv format. So you need a flash video player for this purpose.
You can download a free flash / flv player from : http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Player
or http://flowplayer.org/

FORMAT CONVERSION
===============

Now you need videos in flv file format. In normal cases, most of the videos uploaded by an user will be in avi, dat ,mpg,mp4 or 3gp. So you need a flv converter. You can use either ffmpeg library or mencoder for this purpose

Here is a sample video emmbedding method.



codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,18,0"
width="450" height="375" id="/YouTube_video/youtube" align="middle">
bgcolor="#ffffff" width="450" height="375" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />;

Here src parameter points the swf file, the flash palyer and video parameter points the flv file. This is the format of player i used in http://www.amvizone.com

ffmpeg also can be used for making thumbnails and video watermarking

STORAGE and BANDWIDTH
=====================

Where would you save flv files. In yourown server ? If there is a minimum number of videos, your server might handle it. But consider the case having a large number of videos, your server bandwidth will get used soon. So we have to switch into a CDN (Content Data Network) like amazone S3. What you have to do is just register with any CDN website and use their webservices for uploading and manipulating your video files. These CDN have very reasonable cost for the bandwidth usage and storage space.
