I have a couple questions on something I am trying to configure.
Lets say for this issue i am using 2 jamroom websites
1- main site hosted on VPS
1- small site hosted on a server I set up here in my office using Ubuntu and a Lenovo Laptop w/4GB RAM

I make videos of my kids school sport activities and upload them to youtube then embed them in the above main site...this process for a single video is taking around 8 hours because the videos are a round 3 GB each

I want to upload these 3GB videos to the jamroom site I have hosted here on server in my office- then embed them on the main site

I notice I can upload a 3GB video using the jamroom interface in about 5 minutes :)

So my 2 questions are "what file type should i convert the video to that would save time in the conversion process? I am not sure this can be done because i am thinking jamroom converted it to several formats...but not sure so wanted to ask...

My other question is how to embed a video from my office server website into my main Jamroom website?

The videos are for my kids- they wont get more than 100 views over their lifetime and not more than 10-20 per week...so I think I maybe able to stream them from this homemade server ok....I am just trying to save all the hours involved in uploading them and converting them using Youtube..

Any help/suggestions appreciated

MP4 is good.

You can't do this - you would have to have your office website setup in DNS with a domain name, running a server 24/7 and a custom module - at that point you may as well run your JR site from your office computer.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Brian..I am not sure what you mean "I cant do this.."
I have been working on it and have it set up now...here is the JR site run from my laptop as server
http://eaglesports.us
I just uploaded a 3GB video in about 5 minutes( as mpeg4)...its converting now...
So is embedding a video from this site on the other site the part "I cant do"?

I need the resources of the VPS for the main site...but I am trying this as a workaround to 8 hours per upload to youtube..

My last resort idea was to use the uploaded video url in an iframe and embed it on the main site...

Please explain the part that wont work so i understand better
Thanks!

("You can't do this - you would have to have your office website setup in DNS with a domain name, running a server 24/7 and a custom module - at that point you may as well run your JR site from your office computer. ) I have done all this except a custom module?

Here is a screenshot of my resources while the large video is converting-I am hopeful that this MAY be possible- The resource usage seems reasonable to me...fingers crossed

Brian...If my videos are MP4 when i upload them can i uncheck the 'CONVERT VIDEOS" option in the videos module without any effect on the video thats output from JR? Just thinking that would save a ton of time and resources
Thanks again

I outlined it above - however if your laptop is online and internet accessible, you could try an iframe. You'll have to play around with it and try to get it to work.
