Flash Media Server Hosting question

Monday, June 30th, 2008
Hi

I'm looking to set up a site where people can watch movies (I'm working with a small film company). It strikes me that Flash streaming is the way to go because it prevents the movie from caching etc. (and 90%+ have flash installed blah blah blah)

The question I have is about disk space. I've searched on google for streaming hosts and the disk space offered by all of them seems a bit small. An example:

100 Simultaneous Connections
50 mbps burstable streaming bandwidth
(Up to 1.5 mbps per connection)
2 GB Disk Space
75 GB transfer / month
$99.95 a month

As the packages increase, you get more transfer, bigger bandwidth... But tiny little disk space increases. Given that streaming video is about... Well, streaming video... I'd expect more generous disk space. 2 gig isn't really going to allow for much movie when encoded at a good/high quality bit rate.

So my question is: What am I missing here? Why is disk space so expensive when looking to stream flash movies?

Even with the deal above, I'm better off getting a dedicated and installing Wowza. I'm not keen to go down that route because I'm not desperate to jump into server administration on this particular project - but I'm left scratching my head at the numbers and thinking "there must be a reason which I don't know about".

Any advice would be much appreciated. I don't want to set off along the wrong path!

[Ask] How to automatize the scraping of keywords with Google KW suggestion

Monday, June 30th, 2008
Hello,

I am using google's KW generation tool to build KW lists from website's urls

For a given website, that involves
1. entering main page url
2. selecting all the KW
3. start again with each url of the site

It's repetitive so I guess someone must have build a tool with which you can spider a website for its KW.

Any suggestions ?

(maybe a tool that uses google or something else ?)

Thanks

Automatic phone dialer (Amazing money idea)

Monday, June 30th, 2008
Check this out, i think i have a new project.
While installing a script on a domain that scrapes software i flicked through and came to this.

http://whatcost.org/auto-dialer-pro_3853-7.html

Holy shit see the stuff that bad boy can do.

* consecutively dials numbers from a phone list;
* automatically plays prerecorded message (wave file) to the phone line or:
* manually plays the message clicked on the Play List
* extended phone list allows to:
- selecting the different message (wave file) for the each entry
- individual time scheduling for each call
* answering machine and voice mail detection:
message will start playing after the silence on the line has been detected (user adjustable params)
* when answering machine is detected then playing the message will start after the beep;
* can read printed words (text file) to the phone line;
* records phone conversation to wave file;
* fully customizable: by using the script user has the ability to:
- play a different message depending on the key pressed by receiving end
- record the keystrokes as a response to the played message.
* automatic or manual disconnection;
* built-in timer: starts and stops dialing at the scheduled time.
* automated dialing from command prompt;
* busy numbers are redialed and can be moved to the end of queue;
* caller ID capable:
displays the incoming caller name and/or phone number;
when CallerID matches preset value then it launches another external application or plays a message
can launch another app with the caller ID as a trailing parameter
stores caller ID on clipboard
* multiple profiles: each profile contains a phone list and .wav file to be played over the phone;
* data record keeping:
* logs are automatically removed after specified period of time.
* ADP will not dial numbers stored in Do Not Call list:
telemarketers can download Do Not Call list from here
* Auto Dialer Pro can be used to automatically test data modems (test dial-up numbers).
It will log ID and bit rate. It can be set to launch alarm.


Now imagine using this software through voip or whatever and marketing something good, seems it can be setup to even talk from a text file, or so i read.
It can also be setup to have scripts, like Hi just calling to ask if you would like a free ringtone. If you do press 1, if not press 2, when it presses 1 you can have it do other shit..


Just thought i would rant about it and let you all know it even allows voip even skype. Also if anyone has or knows of other software like this let me know. Im UK incase your software is country dependant, this is worldwide.

Guess what my new project is gonna be :) MWAHAHAH, if you get any calls tomorrow its not me rofl

Guess ill be back soon away to play :)
