Dear Friends,

I have a PHP/MySQL based forum like this one. Apart from allow my users to post mp3 files and video files from their computer,

I would like to allow them to save audio or video “on fly” and post them as MP3/FLV files.

I have an account at Influxis.com and they offer a VideoBlogger application in which you can do what I am saying… but I need to do it by myself to post those audio/video files to my forum.

Is there any application that I can buy/get to do what I need? Could you recommend me where to start searching?

Thank you very much.

Just get a normal FLV player.
As for MP3's they just need to embed it, using the embed HTML tag.

Dynash,

I think I was not clear enough.

I need to allow my users to post audio and video that they do not have in their PCs. So, instead posting a written comment like this one... they should be able to post audio comments by clicking a button "save audio" and talking to they microphones.

For instance, suppose I want to post an audio comment wright now. I would click the "save audio" button right now and would talk to my microphone. Then, I would press the "Finish" button, check, and send it.

So, the the MP3 player would appear just here:
------------
{MP3-PLAYER}
------------

And you would be able to read my comment, hear my audio comment that is embed here, etc., etc.

Have I been clearer?

Mario.

Ah, I understand. But the MP3 issue can be done through SnapVine, by just embedding the player onto the forum. That would be the easier soloution.
