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.

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.

Comment here if any queries

Online Photoshop in PHP (Series Part 4) >>

Today we will discuss about cropping of images using php and gd library.

Look at the simple example here:

http://www.sajithmr.com/photoshop-tuts/crop/simplecrop.php

$x1 = $_GET['x1'];
$y1 = $_GET['y1'];

$x2 = $_GET['x2'];
$y2 = $_GET['y2'];	

$image_object =   imagecreatefromjpeg('hari.jpg');
$image_cropped =  Crop($image_object,$x1, $y1, $x2,$y2);
$temp_path = rand(1,99999)."hari.jpg";
imagejpeg( $image_cropped,$temp_path);

header('Location: simplecrop.php?img='.$temp_path );	  

?>

Here the Crop function is doing the real work. x1 and y1 are Top-Left Coordinates of new image and x2, y2 are the Bottom-Right .

Here is the function for Crop

function Crop($image, $xpos1,$ypos1,$xpos2,$ypos2)
	{
		require_once('class.cropcanvas.php');
		$cc =& new CropCanvas();
		$cc->loadImageFromObject($image);
		$cc->cropToDimensions($xpos1, $ypos1, $xpos2,$ypos2 );
		return $cc->getImageObject();

	}

?>

You can see the class.cropcanvas.php file from the attachment.

In the above example, we have to enter each coordinates manually. See the example below:

http://www.sajithmr.com/photoshop-tuts/crop/realcrop.php

Here you can select the area by click and drag (like orkut)

This is implemented with the help or jslib javascript. The given attachment in the end of this post contains the all.

What you add for showing google ads on your website ? It is a javascript , right ?

Parameters are: Client Id
format, channel,url for the caller webpage, background color, link color, border color, text color, javasupport, flash support etc

The width and height of the iframe is calculated from google_ad_width = 468 and google_ad_height = 60 parameters.

This is not the end of the story. The actual story just begins now. The loading iframe contains all the advetisement according to your adsense configuration. If you check the links of add unit, you can see all the event with the link is tracked by google adsense code.

See a sample ad link:

<a id=”aw0″ class=”adt” target=”_top” onmouseover=”return ss(”,’aw0′)”
onmousedown=”st(’aw0′)” onfocus=”ss(”,’aw0′)” onclick=”ha(’aw0′)”

See onmouseover, onfocus, onmouseout etc functions are used. It means google studies user behaviour with google ads. The click on the link does not go directly into the corresponding website, instead it redirected inot googlesyndication.com and from then redirected into real website. You can guess the reason.

Depending on your browser configuration, google shows text ads, image ads and flash (shock wave) ads

This is a very small introduction of hows adsense works. There are a lot of steps behind the show_ad.js file. But this is will give you a rough idea.

I think
