ClipShare is a video sharing software application which allows the user to create a web site similar to YouTube, and is often called a YouTube-clone.

Contents

It is written in PHP and uses MySQL databases. As with most other video sharing software, Clip-Share uses ffmpeg, a collection of software libraries that can record, convert and stream digital audio and video in numerous formats.

Creating video-sharing websites seems to have become a pretty popular niche, with several high-ranking popular video-sharing websites (many of adult content) running the script. Although the script is commercial, it has a large community userbase which also supplies additional modifications and fixes available to the public for free or commercially.

The latest version is Clip-Share 4, which has added many notable features such as multi-server load balancing, multi-language system, and an enhanced administrative user interface.
