Video and Audio Recording

Post by suhailasif »

Hi,

I am running a LAMP server, I want to record video and audio from a local camera or mic and save it in my website. I literally have no idea how to do it. Can anyone guide me how can i do it. I do not want the code just tell me how can i do it and which language i will need and i will figure out.

It would be grateful if you can direct me to a tutorial or a book,

Regards

You don't need to reinvent the wheel unless you really want to! For recording audio, use Audacity to record and make mp3 files. For video recording, you will need video editing software to produce eg mp4 files. And for uploading your masterworks to a website (either on your own computer or on a remote server), managing them and displaying them on a webpage..well, as it happens, I have written a php programme which does exactly that. It is called PodHawk and you can find it at http://www.podhawk.com Download the zip file, unzip it on your computer, read the readme file, upload the files to your site, run the install programme and your ready to go.
