Craigslist.org’s SF Bay Area site
Craigslist is a centralized network of online urban communities, featuring free classified advertisements (with jobs, housing, personals, for sale/barter/wanted, services, community, gigs and resumes categories) and forums sorted by various topics.
It was founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark for the San Francisco Bay Area. After incorporation in 1999, Craigslist expanded into nine more cities in 2000 (all of them in the U.S.), four each in 2001 and 2002, and 14 in 2003. As of June 2006, Craigslist had established itself in approximately 310 cities all over the world.
As of 2006, Craigslist operates with a staff of 22 people. [1] Its sole source of revenue is paid job ads in select cities ($75 per ad for the San Francisco Bay Area; $25 per ad for New York; Los Angeles; Boston; Seattle; Washington D.C., and paid broker apartment listings in New York City ($10 per ad)).
It serves over 4 billion page views per month, putting it in 30th place overall among Internet companies world wide, 7th place overall among Internet companies in the United States (per Alexa.com on July 8, 2006), to 10 million unique visitors. With over 10 million new classified ads each month, Craigslist is the leading classifieds service in any medium. The site receives over 500,000 new job listings each month, making it one of the top job boards in the world. [2] The classified advertisements range from traditional buy/sell ads and community announcements, to personal ads and even “erotic services”.
Although the company does not disclose financial information, journalists have speculated that its annual revenue approached $10 million in 2004.

[edit] Background

Craigslist World Headquarters in San Francisco’s Sunset District
Having observed people (on the Net, The WELL, and Usenet) helping one another in a friendly, social and trusting community way, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark decided to create something similar for local San Francisco events. Soon word-of-mouth and popular demand led to the addition of new categories, and “the list” became large enough to demand the use of a list server (majordomo), which required a name. Friends started calling it “Craig’s List”, and the name stuck. Craigslist was once renamed listfoundation.org for a brief period in 1999.
Newmark says that Craigslist works because it gives people a voice, a sense of community trust and even intimacy. Other factors he cites are consistency of down-to-earth values, customer service and simplicity. After first being approached about running banner ads, Newmark decided to keep Craigslist non-commercial. In 2002, Craigslist staff posted mock-banner ads throughout the site as an April Fools joke. [3]
[edit] Significant events
In January 2000, current CEO Jim Buckmaster joined the company as lead programmer and CTO. Buckmaster contributed the site’s multi-city architecture, search engine, discussion forums, flagging system, self-posting process, homepage design, personals categories, and best-of-Craigslist feature. He was promoted to CEO in November 2000. [4]
In 2002, a disclaimer was put on the “men seeking men”, “casual encounters”, “erotic services”, and “rants and raves” boards to ensure that those who clicked on these sections were over the age of 18. No disclaimer is on the “men seeking women,” “women seeking men” or “women seeking women” boards. Responding to charges of discrimination and negative stereotyping, Buckmaster explained that the company’s policy is a response to user feedback requesting the warning on the more sexually explicit sections, including “men seeking men” [5].
In 2003 Michael Ferris Gibson filmed the documentary 24 Hours on Craigslist.
On August 1, 2004, Craigslist began charging $25 to post job openings on the New York and Los Angeles pages. On the same day, a new section was added called “Gigs”, where low-cost and unpaid jobs and internships can be posted for free.
On August 13, 2004, Newmark announced on his blog that auction giant eBay had purchased a 25% stake in the company from a former principal. Some fans of Craigslist have expressed concern that this development will affect the site’s longtime non-commercial nature, but it remains to be seen what ramifications the change will actually have.
In July 2005, Craigslist won the right to beam over 2 million classified ads into deep space (one light year away) in the near future after Buckmaster won an eBay auction for broadcasting time from the company Deep Space Communications Network. Newmark said, “We believe there could be an infinite market opportunity” in space. [6]
[edit] Controversies
In July 2005, the San Francisco Chronicle castigated Craigslist for allowing ads from dog breeders, and thereby allegedly encouraging the overbreeding and irresponsible selling of pit bulls in the Bay Area. [7]
Wikinews has news related to:
Craigslist sued for hosting discriminatory housing ads
In 2005, Craigslist received its share of controversy for not removing listings for the sale of Live 8 tickets on its websites.
In 2006, Craigslist started to charge a $10 fee for brokers posting rental apartment listings in New York City in order to curtail overposting and bait and switch practices.
In January, 2006, the San Francisco Bay Guardian published an editorial criticizing Craigslist for moving into local communities and “threatening to eviscerate” local alternative newspapers. Craigslist has been compared to Wal-Mart, a huge national organization which enters a community offering to provide arguably cheaper services, but which wipes out local companies in doing so[8].
In February 2006, Craigslist was sued by the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law for allegedly allowing users to post discriminatory housing ads in Chicago that violate the Fair Housing Act. [9]
On September 8th, 2006 several sites [10] reported that Craigslist’s “Casual Encounters” forums in several cities had been compromised by individuals.
[edit] Prostitution crackdown
Prostitution crackdowns have resulted in dozens of arrests, sometimes in massive stings, of Craigslist users suspected of posting dubious ads, including the exchange of sexual favors. Craigslist cooperates with law enforcement, however they have stated many times that they cannot and will not police the site, referring to their policy of allowing users to flag offending posts. [11]
[edit] Nonprofit foundation
In 2001, the company started the Craigslist Foundation, a § 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that helps emerging nonprofit organizations get established, gain visibility, attract the attention of potential donors, and develop the skills and knowledge required for long-term success.
It accepts charitable donations, and rather than directly funding organizations, it produces face-to-face events and offers online resources to help grassroots organizations get off the ground and contribute real value to the community.

youtube clone is a popular free video sharing web site which lets users upload, view, and share video clips. Founded in February 2005 by three early employees of PayPal, the San Mateo-based service utilizes Adobe Flash technology to display video. The wide variety of site content includes movie and TV clips and music videos, as well as amateur content such as videoblogging. Despite YouTube’s huge user base, content library, and hit count popularity, it is still a very small company at the administrative level, staffed by only about 60 employees.[1]

Introduction
[edit]
Background
YouTube,Inc. was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim, who were all early employees of PayPal.[2] Prior to PayPal, Hurley studied design at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Chen and Karim studied computer science together at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[3] The domain name “youtube clone.com” was activated on February 15, 2005,[4] and the website was developed over the following months. The creators offered the public a preview of the site in May 2005, and six months later, youtube clone made its official debut.
The company’s humble beginnings in a garage and commitment to offering free services necessitated outside financial backing. In November of 2005, venture capital firm Sequoia Capital invested an initial $3.5 million;[5] additionally, Roelof Botha, partner of the firm and former CFO of PayPal, joined the youtube clone board of directors. In April 2006, Sequoia put an additional $8 million into the company, which had experienced a boom of popularity and growth in just its first few months.[6]
[edit]
Video uploads
About 65,000 videos are uploaded on the site each day. They include things such as music, video games and more. Videos can be uploaded for free, as long as they are 100MB or less and do not contain copyrighted material. A registered account is needed to add the videos.
[edit]
Service
The slogan “Broadcast Yourself” reflects the basic intent of the site’s creators: to provide hosting for videos. Visitors are encouraged to register an account, which allows them to upload videos as well as view them. For example, personal content like home movies can be shared with family and friends, or amateur filmmakers can hope to gain a larger audience for their work. Video as a blogging medium has especially increased in popularity because of youtube clone (and led to minor celebrity for some bloggers, such as Nornna). It is also suggested that internet video be considered a legitimate choice next to more traditional media, and possibly better, given the increased potential for customized content. [citation needed]
Apart from original work, and in spite of site policy against copyright infringement, the site is also host to many clips from traditional media. This content ranges from works such as fan-created music videos and dubbed parodies, which have at least some degree of originality, to whole and/or unaltered scenes, commercials, music videos, short films, and so on. As with the music community’s conflict over filesharing, there is debate as to whether this practice may prove beneficial to the copyright holders, or simply cause harm.
[edit]
Facts and stats
[edit]
Popularity
At present, youtube clone is one of the fastest-growing websites on the World Wide Web,[7] and is ranked as the 10th most popular website on Alexa, far outpacing even MySpace’s growth.[8] According to a July 16, 2006 announcement, 100 million clips are viewed daily on YouTube, with an additional 65,000 new videos uploaded per 24 hours. The site has almost 20 million visitors each month, according to Nielsen/NetRatings,[9] where around 44% are female, 56% male, and the 12-17 year old age group is dominant.[10]
[edit]
Valuation
Although YouTube’s clone potential market value in an acquisition is pure speculation, an article in the New York Post suggested on July 23, 2006 that youtube clone may be worth anywhere from $600 million to $1 billion.[11] On August 22, 2006 the Web 2.0 blog Techcrunch suggested that Grouper’s acquisition price of $65 million implies a youtube clone valuation of approximately $2 billion. [2] On August 24 2006 an article on CNET’s News.com exclaimed “youtube clone could be a steal at $1 billion.”[12]
[edit]
Word spreads and traditional media take notice
In its short time on the web, youtube clone has grown quickly and received much attention. Online word-of-mouth has been primarily responsible for YouTube’s clone growth since its inception, and gave the site its first surge of publicity when it hosted the popular Saturday Night Live short Lazy Sunday.[13] However, YouTube’s official policy prohibits submission of copyrighted material, and NBC Universal, owners of SNL, soon decided to take action.
In February 2006, NBC asked for the removal of some of its copyrighted content from YouTube, including Lazy Sunday and 2006 Olympics clips.[5][14] The following month, in an attempt to strengthen its policy against copyright infringement, youtube clone set a 10-minute maximum limit on video length (except for content submitted via its Director Program, which specifically hosts original material by amateur filmmakers). However, the real cutoff is 10:58. This restriction is often circumvented by uploaders, who instead split their original video into smaller segments, each shorter than the 10-minute limit.
[edit]
TV networks see potential
Though youtube clone had done its part to comply with NBC’s demands, the incident made the news, giving youtube clone its most prominent publicity yet. As the site continued to grow, NBC began to realize the possibilities, and in June 2006 made an unusual move. The network had reconsidered its actions and was announcing a strategic partnership with youtube clone. Under the terms of the partnership, an official NBC channel will be set up on youtube clone, showcasing promotional clips for the series The Office. youtube clone will also promote NBC’s videos throughout its site.[15]
CBS, which had previously also asked youtube clone to remove several of its clips, followed suit in July 2006. In a statement indicative of how the traditional media industry’s perception of youtube clone (and similar sites) has changed, Sean McManus, president of CBS News and Sports noted:
youtube clone
Our inclination now is, the more exposure we get from clips like that, the better it is for CBS News and the CBS television network, so in retrospect we probably should have embraced the exposure, and embraced the attention it was bringing CBS, instead of being parochial and saying ‘let’s pull it down.’[16]
youtube clone
In August of 2006, youtube clone announced that, within 18 months, it hopes to offer every music video ever created, while still remaining free of charge. Warner Music Group and EMI have confirmed that they are among the companies in talks to implement this plan.[17] In September Warner Music and youtube clone signed a deal, in which youtube clone will be allowed to host every music video Warner produced while sharing a portion of the advertisement income. Additionally, user created videos on youtube clone will be allowed to use Warner songs in their soundtracks.[18]
[edit]
New problems arise
In spite of having formed productive relationships with several major media companies, YouTube’s clone copyright controversies are still not over. TV journalist Robert Tur filed the first lawsuit against the company in summer 2006, alleging copyright infringement for hosting a number of famous news clips without permission. The case has yet to be resolved.[19][20]
[edit]
Accessibility
* On youtube clone: Users may submit videos in several common file formats (such as .mpeg and .avi). youtube clone automatically converts them to Flash Video (with extension .flv) and makes them available for online viewing. Flash Video is a popular video format among large hosting sites due to its wide compatibility.
* Outside youtube clone: Each video is accompanied by the full HTML codes for linking to it and/or embedding it within another page; a small addition to the code for the latter will make the video autoplay when the page is accessed. These simple cut-and-paste options are popular particularly with users of social/networking sites. Poor experiences have however been cited by members of such sites,[21] where autoplaying embedded youtube clone videos has been reported to slow down page loading time or even to cause browsers to crash.
* General Concerns: Videos can be downloaded off YouTube’s clone website and viewed offline with various video player applications; however, this may be a violation of copyright.
* Download Quality: With the update to Flash Gui file formats, youtube clone has had problems with videos loading altogether on the Internet Explorer and Firefox web browsers. No news has been given for when this will be repaired.
[edit]
Copyright infringement
youtube clone policy does not allow content to be uploaded by anyone not permitted by copyright law to do so, and the company frequently removes uploaded infringing content. Nonetheless, a large amount of it continues to be uploaded. Generally, unless the copyright holder reports them, youtube clone only discovers these videos via indications within the youtube clone community through self-policing. The primary way in which youtube clone identifies the content of a video is through the search terms that uploaders associate with clips. Some users have taken to creating alternative words as search terms to be entered when uploading specific type of files (similar to the deliberate misspelling of band names on MP3 filesharing networks). For a while, members could also report one another. The service offers a flagging feature, intended as a means for reporting questionable content, including that which might constitute copyright infringement. However, the feature can be susceptible to abuse; for a time, some users were flagging other users’ original content for copyright violations, purely out of spite. youtube clone proceeded to remove copyright infringement from the list of offenses flaggable by members.
[edit]
Revenue model
youtube clone states that its business model is advertising-based. Some industry commentators have speculated that YouTube’s running costs — specifically the bandwidth required — may be as high as US$1 million per-month,[22] thereby fuelling criticisms that the company does not have a viably implemented business model. Advertisements were launched on the site beginning in March 2006. In April, YouTube started using Google AdSense.
[edit]
Violence
On their 6:30 PM bulletin on June 1, 2006, ITV News in the UK reported that YouTube and sites like it were encouraging violence and bullying amongst teenagers, who were filming fights on their mobile phones (see happy slapping), and then uploading them to YouTube. While the site provides a function for reporting excessively violent videos, the news report stated that communication with the company was difficult.[23]

Streaming media
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Video streaming)
Jump to: navigation, search
Streaming media is media that is consumed (heard or viewed) (mostly in the form of clips) whilst it is being delivered. Streaming is more a property of the delivery system than the media itself. The distinction is usually applied to media that are distributed over computer networks; most other delivery systems are either inherently streaming (radio, television) or inherently non-streaming (books, video cassettes, audio CDs).
The word “stream” is also used as a verb, meaning to deliver streaming media.
The remainder of this article discusses technology for streaming media over computer networks.

History
Attempts to display media on computers date back to the earliest days of computing, in the mid-20th century. However, little progress was made for several decades, due primarily to the high cost and limited capabilities of computer hardware.
Academic experiments in the 1970s proved out the basic concepts and feasibility of streaming media on computers.
During the late 1980s, consumer-grade computers became powerful enough to display various media. The primary technical issues with streaming were:
* having enough CPU power and bus bandwidth to support the required data rates
* creating low-latency interrupt paths in the OS to prevent buffer underrun
However, computer networks were still limited, and media was usually delivered over non-streaming channels, such as CD-ROMs.
The late 1990s saw:
* greater network bandwidth, especially in the last mile
* increased access to networks, especially the Internet
* use of standard protocols and formats, such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and HTML
* commercialization of the Internet
These advances in computer networking combined with powerful home computers and modern operating systems to make streaming media practical and affordable for ordinary consumers.
In general, multimedia content is large, so media storage and transmission costs are still significant; to offset this somewhat, media are generally compressed for both storage and streaming.
A media stream can be on demand or live. On demand streams are stored on a server for a long period of time, and are available to be transmitted at a user’s request. Live streams are only available at one particular time, as in a video stream of a live sporting event.
[edit]
Streaming bandwidth and storage
Streaming media storage size (in the common file system measurements megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, and so on) is calculated from streaming bandwidth and length of the media with the following formula (for a single user and file):
storage size (in megabytes) = length (in seconds) · bit rate (in kbit/s) / 8,388.608
\mathrm{size (MB) = \left (length(s) \cdot bit\ rate\left ({kbit \over s} \right ) \right ) \cdot {1000\ bit \over 1\ kbit} \cdot {1\ byte \over 8\ bits} \cdot {1\ MB \over 1,048,576\ bytes}}
(since 1 megabyte = 8 * 1,048,576 bits = 8,388.608 kilobits)
Real world example:
One hour of video encoded at 300 kbit/s (this is a typical broadband video for 2005 and it’s usually encoded in a 320×240 pixels window size) will be:
(3,600 s · 300 kbit/s) / 8,388.608 = 128.7 MB of storage
if the file is stored on a server for on-demand streaming. If this stream is viewed by 1,000 people, you would need
300 kbit/s · 1,000 = 300,000 kbit/s = 300 Mbit/s of bandwidth
This is equivalent to 125.68 GiB per hour.
[edit]
Protocol issues
Designing a network protocol to support streaming media raises many issues.
Datagram protocols, such as the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), send the media stream as a series of small packets. This is simple and efficient; however, packets are liable to be lost or corrupted in transit. Depending on the protocol and the extent of the loss, the client may be able to recover the data with error correction techniques, may interpolate over the missing data, or may suffer a dropout.
The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) and the Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) were specifically designed to stream media over networks. The latter two are built on top of UDP.
Reliable protocols, such as the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), guarantee correct delivery of each bit in the media stream. However, they accomplish this with a system of timeouts and retries, which makes them more complex to implement. It also means that when there is data loss on the network, the media stream stalls while the protocol handlers detect the loss and retransmit the missing data. Clients can minimize the effect of this by buffering data for display.
Another issue is that firewalls are more likely to block UDP-based protocols than TCP-based protocols.
Unicast protocols send a separate copy of the media stream from the server to each client. This is simple, but can lead to massive duplication of data on the network. Multicast protocols undertake to send only one copy of the media stream over any given network connection, i.e. along the path between any two network routers. This is a more efficient use of network capacity, but it is much more complex to implement. Furthermore, multicast protocols must be implemented in the network routers, as well as the servers.
As of 2005, most routers on the Internet do not support multicast protocols, and many firewalls block them. Multicast is most practical for organizations that run their own networks, such as universities and corporations. Since they buy their own routers and run their own network links, they can decide if the cost and effort of supporting a multicast protocol is justified by the resulting bandwidth savings.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) protocols arrange for media to be sent from clients that already have them to clients that do not. This prevents the server and its network connections from becoming a bottleneck. However, it raises technical, performance, quality, business, and legal issues.
Newer camcorders stream video to a computer over a FireWire connection. This uses a system of time-based reservations to ensure throughput, and can be received by multiple clients at once.
[edit]
Testing issues
Widespread deployment of streaming media raises scaling and Quality of Service issues. Testing service deployments is a significant problem. Vendors offer equipment to test streaming services across a number of test domains including Scalability, Quality of Service, Quality of experience, and protocol conformance.
[edit]
Social and legal issues
Some streaming broadcasters use streaming systems that interfere with the ability to record streams for later playback, either inadvertently, through poor choice of streaming protocol, or deliberately, because they believe it is to their advantage to do so. Broadcasters may be concerned that copies will result in lost sales or that consumers may skip commercials. Whether users have the ability and the right to record streams has become a significant issue in the application of law to cyberspace.
In principle, there is no way to prevent a user from recording a media stream that has been delivered to their computer. Thus, the efforts of broadcasters to prevent this consist of making it inconvenient, or illegal, or both.
Broadcasters can make it inconvenient to record a stream, for example, by using unpublished data formats or by encrypting the stream. Of course, data formats can be reverse engineered, and encrypted streams must be decrypted with a key that resides—somewhere—on the consumer’s computer, so these measures are security through obscurity, at best.
Efforts to make it illegal to record a stream may rely on copyrights, patents, license agreements, or—in the United States—the DMCA.

FLV
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
FLV Image:FlashVideo.png
File extension: .flv
MIME type: video/x-flv
Developed by: Adobe Systems (originally developed by Macromedia)
Type of format: media container
FLV (Flash Video) is a file format used to deliver video over the Internet to the Adobe Flash Player version 6, 7, 8, or 9. FLV content may also be embedded within SWF files. Notable users of the FLV format include Google Video, Reuters.com and YouTube. Flash Video is viewable on most operating systems, via the widely-available Macromedia Flash Player and web browser plug-in, or one of several third-party programs such as Media Player Classic (with the ffdshow codec installed), MPlayer, or VLC media player.

Flash Player
The Adobe Flash Player is a multimedia and application player created and distributed by Macromedia. It plays SWF files which can be created by the Adobe Flash authoring tool, Adobe Flex or a number of other Adobe and third party tools. It has support for a programing language called ActionScript, which can be used to display Flash Video from an SWF file. Because the Flash Player runs as a browser plug-in, it is possible to embed Flash Video in web pages and view the video within a web browser.
[edit]
Video Format
Most FLV files use a variant of H.263 to encode the video. Some FLV files may instead use the screen codec, a simple animation composed of a sequence of screenshots. Flash Player 8 also supports On2 Technologies’ VP6 codec. Support for encoding FLV files with the VP6 codec is provided by an encoding tool included with Adobe’s Macromedia Flash Professional 8 product, On2’s Flix encoding tools, Sorenson Squeeze, and some other third party tools.
FLV files may contain audio in PCM, ADPCM, or MP3 format. FLV is limited to one video and one audio stream per file.
[edit]
Delivery options
FLV files can be delivered in three different ways:
* Embedded in a SWF file using the Flash authoring tool (supported in Flash Player 6 and later)
* Streamed via RTMP to the Flash Player using the Flash Media Server (formerly called Flash Communication Server) , VCS ( Video Communication Server from Onlinelib VCS or the open source Red5 server
This is the best option for allowing advanced seek capabilities and automatic bandwidth detection.
* Progressively downloaded via HTTP (supported in Flash Player 7 and later.)
* Downloaded from programs like Replay A/V or WM Recorder, or from sites like Keepvid.com.

FFmpeg is a collection of free software that can record, convert and stream digital audio and video. It includes libavcodec, a leading audio/video codec library. FFmpeg is developed under Linux, but it can be compiled under most operating systems, including Windows. The project was started by Gerard Lantau, an alterego of Fabrice Bellard, and is now maintained by Michael Niedermayer. It is notable that most FFmpeg developers are part of either the MPlayer, xine or VideoLAN project as well.
The project is made of several components:
* ffmpeg is a command line tool to convert one video file format to another. It also supports grabbing and encoding in real time from a TV card.
* ffserver is an HTTP (RTSP is being developed) multimedia streaming server for live broadcasts. Time shifting of live broadcast is also supported. Note that this is very buggy and unlikely to work.
* ffplay is a simple media player based on SDL and on the FFmpeg libraries.
* libavcodec is a library containing all the ffmpeg audio/video encoders and decoders. Most codecs were developed from scratch to ensure best performance and high code reusability.
* libavformat is a library containing demuxers and muxers for audio/video container formats.
* libavutil is a helper library containing routines common to different parts of FFmpeg.
FFmpeg is released under GNU Lesser General Public License or GNU General Public License (depending on which sub-libraries one would include). The project is hosted at MPlayerHQ and makes formal releases every now and then. FFmpeg developers recommend that one should use the latest Subversion copy as development maintains a constantly stable trunk.
FFmpeg have reverse-engineered and reimplemented, among others:
* The Sorenson 3 Codec used by many QuickTime movies
* Advanced Streaming Format
* Windows Media Audio
* Windows Media Video (and thereby also the associated DivX hack)
* QDesign Music Codec 2, used by many QuickTime movies prior to QuickTime 7.

MPlayer is a free and open source media player distributed under the GNU General Public License. The program is available for all major operating systems, including Linux and other Unix-like systems, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
MPlayer is known to support more multimedia formats than any other player. In addition to its wide range of supported formats MPlayer can also save all streamed content to a file. A companion program, MEncoder, can take an input stream or file and transcode it into several different output formats, optionally applying various transforms along the way.
MPlayer is a command line application which has different optional GUIs for each of its supported operating systems. Commonly used GUIs are GMPlayer (an X Window System GUI for GNU/Linux and other Unix-like systems), MPlayer OS X (for Mac OS X), MPUI (for Windows) and WinMPLauncher (also for Windows). Several alternative GUI frontends are also available for each platform.

Development
Development of MPlayer began in 2000. The original author, Árpád Gereöffy (known as A’rpi / Astral in the demoscene), was soon joined by many other programmers. In the beginning most developers were from Hungary, but nowadays the developers come from all over the world. Alex Beregszászi has maintained MPlayer since 2003 when Árpád Gereöffy left MPlayer development to begin work on a second generation MPlayer. The MPlayer G2 project is currently paused for a number of reasons. [citation needed]
MPlayer was previously called “MPlayer - The Movie Player for Linux” by its developers but this was later shortened to “MPlayer - The Movie Player” after it was made available for multiple operating systems.
Supported media formats
* Physical media: CDs, DVDs, Video CDs
* Container formats: 3gp, AVI, ASF, FLV, Matroska, MOV (QuickTime), MP4, NUT, Ogg, OGM, RealMedia
* Video codecs: 3ivx, Cinepak, DivX, DV, H.263, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, HuffYUV, Indeo, MJPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, RealVideo, Sorenson, Theora, WMV, XviD
* Audio codecs: AAC, AC3, ALAC, AMR, FLAC, MP3, RealAudio, Shorten, Speex, Vorbis, WMA
MPlayer also supports a variety of different output drivers for displaying video, including X11, DirectX, Quartz Compositor, VESA, SDL and rarer ones such as ASCII art and Blinkenlights. It can also be used to display TV from a TV card using the device tv://channel.
Legal issues
Most video and audio codecs are supported natively through the libavcodec library of the FFmpeg project. For those codecs where no open source decoder has been implemented yet MPlayer relies on binary codecs. It can even use Windows DLLs directly with the help of a DLL loader forked from avifile (which itself forked its loader from the Wine project).
The combination of CSS decryption software, Windows codec use, implementation of codecs covered by software patents, and the GPL places a fully-functional MPlayer in the legal bind shared by most open source multimedia players. In the past MPlayer used to include OpenDivX, a GPL-incompatible decoder library. For these reasons MPlayer is not included in most GNU/Linux distributions with a strong commitment to free software; for example, it is not supported by Debian.

myspace clone is a social networking website offering an interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music, and videos. myspace clone also features an internal search engine and an internal e-mail system. It is headquartered in Santa Monica, California while its parent company is headquartered in New York City, and it also has a back up server there. According to Alexa Internet, it is currently the world’s fourth most popular English-language website, the sixth most popular website in any language[1] and the third most popular website in the United States, though it has topped the chart on various weeks[2] (note it is possible that other websites have a greater number of unique visitors). The service has gradually gained more popularity than similar websites to achieve nearly 80 percent of visits to online social networking websites[2]. It has become an increasingly influential part of contemporary popular culture, especially in the Anglosphere. The company employs 300 staff[3], is owned by News Corporation, and does not disclose revenues or profits separately from News Corporation. With the 100 millionth account being created on August 9, 2006[4] and a news story claiming 106 million accounts on September 8, 2006[5], the site reportedly attracts new registrations at a rate of 230,000 per day.[3]
myspace clone is also home to various musicians, filmmakers, and comedians who upload songs, short films, and other work directly onto their profile. These songs and films can also be embedded in other profiles, an interconnectedness which adds to myspace clone’s appeal.

History
myspace clone original logo.
Enlarge
myspace clone original logo.
Before the creation of the current social networking website, the myspace clone.com domain name was already registered in 1998 to a San Francisco-based online storage and file sharing firm. Registration was free and users were able to obtain a small disk quota which would gradually increase if they referred new members to the site. Due to slow service and a lack of revenue, the original website shut down and sold all of its users’ information in 2001.[6]
The current myspace clone service was founded in July 2003 by Tom Anderson (an alumnus of both the University of California, Berkeley and the University of California, Los Angeles), the current president and CEO, Chris DeWolfe (a graduate of University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business), and a small team of programmers. It was partially owned by Intermix Media, which was bought in July 2005 for $580 million by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation (the parent company of Fox Broadcasting and other media enterprises).[7] In January 2006, Fox announced plans to launch a UK version of myspace clone in a bid to “tap into the UK music scene”[8] which they have since done (see myspace clone International).
Contents of a myspace clone profile
Blurbs, Blog, Multimedia
Profiles contain two standard “blurbs”: “About Me” and “Who I’d Like to Meet” sections. Profiles also contain an “Interests” section and a “Details” section. However, fields in these sections will not be displayed if members do not fill them in. Profiles also contain a blog with standard fields for content, emotion, and media. myspace clone also supports uploading images. One of the images can be chosen to be the “default image,” the image that will be seen on the profile’s main page, search page, and as the image that will appear to the side of the user’s name on comments, messages, etc. myspace clone has also added the option to upload videos via the myspace clone Videos service, that are played via a standalone Flash player.
Friend Space
The User’s Friends Space contains a count of a user’s friends, a “Top Friends” area, and a link to view all of the user’s friends. Users can choose a certain number of friends to be displayed on their profile in the “Top Friends” area. The “Top Friends” used to be restricted to eight friends. People bypassed this limitation by using third-party tools to emulate a “Top X” friends. Currently, myspace clone allows 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, or 24 friends to be displayed in the “Top Friends” area.
Comments
Below the User’s Friends Space (by default) is the “comments” section, wherein the user’s friends may leave comments for all viewers to read. myspace clone users have the option to delete any comment and/or require all comments to be approved before posting. If a user’s account is deleted, every comment left on other profiles by that user will be deleted.
Profile customization

myspace clone to take on iTunes
myspace clone allows users to modify their user pages. Although JavaScript is not allowed, HTML/XHTML and CSS can be used to change the vast majority of the profile to the user’s preference. Users also have the option to add embedded music into their profiles via myspace clone Music, a service that allows bands to post songs onto their respective profiles. Videos, flash-based content, and almost anything else can be added, much like a standard HTML page. Since many users of myspace clone do not know HTML, third-party code generating websites have appeared to help these users.
myspace clone features
Software
The company’s servers are all running Microsoft-IIS 6.0 on the Windows Server 2003 OS.[9]
Bulletins
Bulletins are messages that are sent out to everyone on a myspace clone user’s friends list. Bulletins can be useful for notifying an entire friends list, without resorting to messaging users individually. Some users choose to use Bulletins as a service for delivering chain messages and surveys [citation needed]. Bulletins are deleted after ten days.
Groups
myspace clone has a Groups feature which allows a group of users to share a common page and message board.
Language editions
Since early 2006 myspace clone has offered the option to access the service in different regional versions, much like Google and other search engines. In reality the user is currently directed to their “local” site irrespective of attempts to explicitly choose another. These options offered are: Global site, Australia, France (currently in beta), Germany (currently in beta), Ireland, UK, and US (although this is in fact identical to the “global” site).
The alternative regional versions present automated content according to locality (e.g. UK users see other UK users as “Cool New People”, and UK oriented events and adverts, etc.), offer local languages other than English, or accommodate the regional differences in spelling and conventions in the English-speaking world (e.g. United States: “favorites”, mm/dd/yyyy; the rest of the world: “favourites”, dd/mm/yyyy).
myspace clone Mobile
American mobile phone provider Helio released a series of mobile phones in early 2006 that can utilize a service known as myspace clone Mobile to access and edit one’s profile and communicate with, and view the profiles of, other members.[10] Additionally, UIEvolution is currently developing a mobile version of myspace clone for a wider range of carriers.[11]
Criticism
Accessibility
Since most myspace clone pages are designed by individuals with little HTML experience, few pages satisfy the criteria for valid HTML laid down by the W3C[2][citation needed] which can cause accessibility problems when visiting many user pages. Furthermore, myspace clone is set up so that anyone can customize the layout and colors of their profile page with virtually no restrictions, provided that the advertisements aren’t covered up by CSS or using other means. As myspace clone users may not be skilled web developers, this can cause further problems. Poorly constructed myspace clone profiles could potentially freeze up web browsers due to malformed CSS coding, or as a result of users placing many high bandwidth objects such as videos, graphics, and Flash in their profiles (sometimes multiple videos and soundfiles are automatically played at the same time when a profile loads).PC World magazine cited this as its main reason for naming myspace clone as #1 in its list of 25 worst web sites ever.[12]
In addition, new features have been gradually added. This, and the increasing number of myspace clone members, leads to an increase in used bandwidth. This increase in usage sometimes slows down the servers and may result in a “Server Too Busy” error message for some users who are on at peak hours, “Sorry! an unexpected error has occurred. This error has been forwarded to myspace clone’s technical group.”, or a variety of any other error messages throughout the day [citation needed].
myspace clone and professionalism
The Chicago Tribune’s RedEye printed an article concerning myspace clone and an individual’s search for employment. It was argued that young college graduates compromise their chances of starting careers because of the content they post onto their profiles. For instance, a visitor does not need an account to browse for users using information that is readily available on resumes and applications, such as a postal code and age. A potential employer can utilize information provided by the applicant on myspace clone’s search engine. Thus, the employer may not hire a highly qualified candidate because he or she maintains an account suggesting rambunctious behaviour. Moreover, employees were said to be putting their careers at risk because they maintain blogs that criticize their respective companies and organizations[citation needed].
Security
Originally myspace clone was an adult only website. It did not contain adult content, but it was intended for adults to meet each other. Profiles of people that were suspected of being under age or freely admitted to it were deleted. As the site grew it became harder to maintain this. Eventually the restriction was removed[citation needed].
myspace clone allows registering users who are as young as 14.[13] Profiles with ages set to 14 to 15 years are automatically private. Users whose ages are set at 16 or over have the option to restrict their profiles,[14] and the option of merely allowing certain personal data to be restricted to people other than those on their friends list. Accessing the full profile of or messaging someone under the age of 18 is restricted to a myspace clone user’s direct friends only.[citation needed]Republican Pennsylvania Representative Mike Fitzpatrick has also introduced controversial legislation (H.R.5319) to ban usage of the site in public places, such as schools and libraries, and to have the power to tap into usage of the website in those places.
myspace clone often has problems with profile identity theft. These are profiles containing the pictures and sometimes information of someone else’s profile. These stolen profiles are commonly used to advertise websites. myspace clone will delete these profiles if the victim verifies their identity and points out the profile via e-mail.[15]
Recently, myspace clone has been the focus of a number of news reports stating that teenagers have found ways around the restrictions set by myspace clone, and have been the target of online predators.[16] In response, myspace clone has given assurances to parents that the website is safe for people of all ages. Beginning in late June 2006, myspace clone users whose ages are set over 18 could no longer be able to add users whose ages are set from 14 to 15 years as friends unless they already know the user’s full name or email address.[17] However, these restrictions only work if users are honest about their age. Some 3rd party Internet Safety companies like Social Shield[18] have launched online communities for parents concerned about their child’s safety on myspace clone.
In June 2006, a 14-year-old girl who says she was sexually assaulted by a 19-year-old user sued myspace clone and News Corporation, seeking $30 million in damages. In the same month, 16-year-old Katherine Lester flew to the Middle East after having tricked her parents into getting her a passport in order to be with a 20-year-old man she met through myspace clone. US officials in Jordan persuaded the teen to turn around and go home.
MSNBC has reported that myspace clone is a “hotbed” for spyware, and that infection rates are rising because of myspace clone.[19]
Musicians’ rights and myspace clone Terms of Use Agreement
Until June 2006, there was a concern amongst musicians, artists, and bands on myspace clone such as songwriter Billy Bragg owing to the fine print within the user agreement that read, “You hereby grant to myspace clone.com a non-exclusive, fully-paid and royalty-free, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense through unlimited levels of sublicensees) to use, copy, modify, adapt, translate, publicly perform, publicly display, store, reproduce, transmit, and distribute such Content on and through the Services”. The fine print brought particular concern as the agreement was being made with Murdoch’s News Corporation. Billy Bragg brought the issue to the attention of the media during the first week of June 2006.[20] Jeff Berman, a myspace clone spokesman swiftly responded by saying, “Because the legalese has caused some confusion, we are at work revising it to make it very clear that myspace clone is not seeking a license to do anything with an artist’s work other than allow it to be shared in the manner the artist intends”.
By June 27, 2006 myspace clone had lived up to their word and amended the user agreement with, “myspace clone.com does not claim any ownership rights in the text, files, images, photos, video, sounds, musical works, works of authorship, or any other materials (collectively, ‘Content’) that you post to the myspace clone Services. After posting your Content to the myspace clone Services, you continue to retain all ownership rights in such Content, and you continue to have the right to use your Content in any way you choose”.
Blocking
Many schools and public libraries in the United States and the United Kingdom have restricted access to myspace clone because it has become “such a haven for student gossip and malicious comments”.[21] A Catholic school in New Jersey has even prohibited students from using myspace clone at home, although experts questioned the legality of such a ban.[22] In Autumn 2005 Pope John XXIII Regional High School in Sparta Township, New Jersey made headlines by forbidding its students to have pages on myspace clone or similar websites or face suspension.[23] The school claimed that this action was made to protect its students from online predators.[24]
On July 28, 2006, the United States House of Representatives passed a controversial bill requiring libraries and schools receiving certain types of federal funding (E-rate) to prevent unsupervised minors from using chat rooms and social networking websites, such as myspace clone. This bill, known as the Deleting Online Predators Act of 2006 (DOPA), was approved by a 410-15 vote and is pending approval in the United States Senate.
Legal issues
In May 2006, Long Island, New York teenagers Shaun Harrison and Saverio Mondelli were charged with illegal computer access and attempted extortion of myspace clone, after both had allegedly hacked into the site to steal the personal information of myspace clone users before threatening to share the secrets of how they broke into the website unless myspace clone paid them $150,000. Both teens were arrested by undercover Los Angeles police detectives posing as myspace clone employees.[25]
Celebrities on myspace clone
myspace clone has led to the creation of myspace clone celebrities, popular individuals who have attracted hundreds of thousands of “friends”, which may lead to coverage in other media. The June 2006 issue of Playboy magazine, for example, featured a “Women of myspace clone” nude pictorial (though ironically, an article somewhat critical of the website ran in the same issue). Through myspace clone, such people are able to distribute information regarding their activities, events they are hosting, or projects they are working on (e.g. albums or clothing lines). Though some of these individuals have remained only Internet celebrities, others have been able to jump to television, magazines, and radio. One example is Christine “ForBiddeN” Dolce’s appearance on The Tyra Banks Show.
Furthermore, myspace clone’s music section has helped many amateur bands progress. One illustrative example is English band Arctic Monkeys, who owe some of their success to the publicity that myspace clone generated for them. When asked about the popularity of the band’s myspace clone website in an interview with Prefix magazine, the band pointed out that they did not even know what myspace clone was, and that their page had originally been created by their fans. It has been claimed that Pop artist Lily Allen’s new fame is also due in part to her being promoted on myspace clone but Lily herself denies this. In response to an interview question on Triple J, Australia Lily stated[26], “The way it’s been portrayed in the media, is that you were almost like discovered by myspace clone; how accurate is that?” Lily responded “Not accurate at all, I had a record deal before I set up my myspace clone account so, erm, that’s … couldn’t really be further from the truth.”
Rivalry with YouTube
YouTube first appeared on the web in early 2005, and it quickly gained popularity on myspace clone due to myspace clone members who embedded YouTube videos in their myspace clone profiles. Realizing the competitive threat to the new myspace clone Videos service, myspace clone banned embedded YouTube videos from its user profiles. myspace clone users widely protested the ban, prompting myspace clone to re-enable the feature shortly thereafter.[27]
Since then YouTube has become one of the fastest-growing websites on the World Wide Web,[28] outgrowing myspace clone’s reach according to Alexa Internet.[29] In July 2006 several news organizations reported that YouTube had overtaken myspace clone.[30]
