I'm interested how sites like Youtube have the infrastructure and how they work in term of taking a video from an user (the user uploads) and converting to Flash (FLV) in realtime (when the user uploads the conversion to FLV is done on the fly)?
What it takes to built a site like that (not of Youtube size but a smaller one - like having hundreds and hundreds of videos, maybe thousands, and having hundreds or maybe thousands of visitors seeing videos in the same time)? Especially the infrastructure and the conversion modality (from almost any format to Flash FLV)...
Thank you.
