Zoochat Youtube?

[kbaker116]

Hey I was interested in starting a youtube channel for zoochat. If I were to would anyone with video cameras interested in posting their videos from zoos. Also people could post reviews and what not. Post a response if you think its a good idea.

Cool Idea!

May be best to pass this idea via Sim, forum owner and admin.

Video support for ZooChat (which would work much the same way as the photo gallery currently works) is still under construction.

Please don't go creating something for ZooChat on Youtube - I'm building something you can access via this site.

And looking forward to it Sim. Thanks for your work on this.

Oh thanks, can't wait. I just got a new video camera and want to upload some footage I got from the Cincy Zoo

Good Idea Sim, what would we be able to do on this video gallery your making?

It would work pretty much the same way as the photo gallery - you would be able to upload video and then post comments about it like you do with photos.

I'm still working through the logistics of it all - video is much more resource intensive (disk / CPU / bandwidth) than photos are, so I need to be careful how I build it - otherwise it will end up costing far too much to operate.

Will you be able to upload HD content? because I have an HD Camera?

The big problem with HD content is the amount of storage space and bandwidth it uses.

I will probably allow that content to be uploaded, but it may be down-sampled to a lower quality for display on the site to save on bandwidth and storage space.

I need to do some testing to work out what is going to be possible.

Ok thanks for working on it hopefully it doesn't cost to much.
