<b>What is MediaBase?</b> |
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 |
MediaBase is a media (video-only for the moment) publishing and sharing system . |
|---|
| 21 |
Something like YouTube, but better . Based on Netjuke, like Burn Station and r23.cc . |
|---|
| 22 |
And the best is: it's 1oo% Free Software (FLOSS) , GPL licensed . |
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 |
Our friend ps wrote some <a href="http://dev.burnstation.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/MediabaseDocumentation">useful documentation here.</a> |

1. On the menu directly under the logo, completely right side, |
|---|
| 37 |
you will see the "LOGIN" link. |
|---|
| 38 |
2. Click on it. And fill in the form with your Username and Password. |
|---|
| 39 |
If you are not yet registered, click on <a href="account.php?do=new">Register</a>, |
|---|
| 40 |
next to the <a href="login.php">Login</a> button, under the login form. |
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 |
<b>B. <a name="upload">Uploading videos</a></b> |
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 |
FTP is the only option for the moment. |
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 |
Use your same username/password set at the mediabase web |
|---|
| 47 |
to access your FTP, using with your usual FTP client. |
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 |
FTP server/host is: <?=FTP_SERVER?> |
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 |
If you don't know what FTP is, try getting help somewhere else. |
|---|
| 52 |
We recommend FireFTP, which is a plugin for Firefox: |

<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/684/">https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/684/</a> |
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 |
We haven't devided on which video formats are best for you |
|---|
| 56 |
to upload. So the best we can say for now is: TRY ! |
|---|
| 57 |
It's free. Find your way around, and help where possible. |

- A resolution of 320x240 is a good idea for the web. |
|---|
| 60 |
- 25fps maybe too. |
|---|
| 61 |
- Any other ideas? |
|---|

You need Java to play them online. |
|---|
| 66 |
<a href="http://videolan.org">VLC</a> will probably do it too. |
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 |
We use 1oo% Free Software. This means we do not use Flash, |
|---|
| 69 |
like others do. So we use Java to embed mediabase videos on the web |
|---|
| 70 |
and let you play them online. |
|---|
| 71 |
|
|---|
| 72 |
<b>D. <a name="embed">Embedding videos on other website</a></b> |
|---|
| 73 |
|
|---|
| 74 |
If you want to embed any mediabase video into your website, |
|---|
| 75 |
follow the link "embed this video" directly under the one |
|---|
| 76 |
you want. |
