I’ve set up a service on my personal server that you can upload movies to and will send them back to you as a flv.

I set this up as a person fix for a client but wanted to gauge just how useful this could be.

It works as form submissions. Below is what you’ll need to submit a video

\<form method=“post” enctype=“multipart/form-data” action=“[http://video.skyxl.com/convert/](http://video.skyxl.com/convert/)”\>  
\<input name=“file” type=“file” /\>  
\<input name=“submit” type=“submit” value=“submit” /\>  
\<input name=“email” type=“hidden” [value="test@skyxl.com](mailto:value=%22test@skyxl.com)" /\>  
\<input name=“password” type=“hidden” value=“test” /\>  
\<input name=“apikey” type=“hidden” value=“0636a641-3a41-102d-95f8-dff325e0f425” /\>  
\<input name=“responsePage” type=“hidden” value=“[http://www.myResponsePage.net|com|org|etc](http://www.myResponsePage.net%7Ccom%7Corg%7Cetc)” /\>  
\</form\>

For the “responsePage” formfield, this is the location of the page that your flv will be sent to. Everything is sent to this page as a form submission. Below are all the form field names that will be sent to your response page

1. originalFileName
2. file (the flv being uploaded to you)
3. fileId ( name that was issued for the file on the server)
4. originalFileSize (bytes)
5. convertedFileSize (bytes)
6. mimeType (content/subContent)
7. sDateTime (when the file was uploaded to my server)
8. eDateTime (when the converted file was pushed to the response page)

There is a 10MB limit on file size and only movie files (mpeg, avi, rm, wmv, etc) are allowed. Date times are set at YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format.

any any any feed back is highly appreciated. I hope someone finds this useful. I would love to turn it into something.
