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.

Hi,
We can even go one step further and create a clone of YouTube. All the scripts for that are easily findable on the internet. But doing the same thing as YouTube is not a solution to success. There is only one way for me. Do not try to do what has already been done by those better money-backed players. Find a niche! Targeting a niche, whether it is about a special subject or a community, is the key of success. This is already too hard to find videos about something that interest us within the millions hosted by YouTube. By focussing on a specific content, you will create a community of users of your own, with a place they will gladly share around them as it will rapidly be theirs.
So what niche to choose? I have compiled a list of already 400 of YouTube-like sites with their niche on http://www.ilikesharingvideos.com/video-sharing-sites/en/
If you’re interested in video sharing, you should give it an eye.
Cheers

There is a solution: http://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

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

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

LOL! The clones will have to do something good before they can top YouTube…
