If you do a search on Google for “youtube clone“, you get a ton of results of, well, YouTube clone scripts. They range from $27, to $100 and more. But which one is actually the best?

Have you researched this? Share your thoughts in the comments below. I’m looking to find the best of the best.

Why do I want a YouTube clone script? I don’t really. I just wanted to see what was out there. However, I can see value in the possibility of building my own niche video network, can’t you? :)

Here’s a few I found…

http://www.myownvideosite.com/ – Starting at $10/month
http://www.clip-share.com – One time $199
http://alstrasoft.com/videoshare.htm – $300 one time
http://www.entertainmentscripts.com/social_features.php – $179 one time
http://www.buyscripts.in/youtube_clone.html – $10 bucks?

it's hard to make money off of these sites because of the bandwidth limit have tried it and there's not money in it

Yeh, the bandwidth is a problem. I've been thinking about starting my own video site, though. I've bookmarked this post...

There is a solution: www.phpsugar.com

You don't have to host any videos if you use php melody. I've successfully used PHP Melody in a few projects and they were all worth it.

Let me know what you think

I have used MediaShare Suite and MyOwnVideosite.
I like the security of hosting the MediaShare Suite PHP script on my own hosted site, but not being very adept at PHP, my site was hacked within two months.
I have not had any problems with the hosted solution MyOwnVideoSite offers, however everyday I worry that they will pull an Eyespot see ya and leave me without a site.
I really think we are still in the infant stages of web 2.0. All of these sites are going to have to come up with realistic business plans as venture capital vanishes. They are going to have to gear themselves to mobil technology such as the I-phone, advertising overlays for their players like Veeple offers and a system for targeting the banner ads to the users profile.
