Aurigma Image Uploader is the upload solution for a range of websites which is particularly handy for video upload. If you integrate it with your website, your users can upload videos right from a browser.
NoteAurigma Image Uploader replaces Aurigma Video Uploader which is obsolete and no longer available.
Why Aurigma?
Aurigma Image Uploader is a powerful upload component which allows implementing the upload functionality on your website quickly and easily. Despite of its name (given to it because of powerful imaging functionality), it can be used for any file types as well, and in particular, for video uploads. By integrating Aurigma with your website you provide your users with a easy-to-use and reliable way to upload video files to your server.
Aurigma benefits for video uploads
-
Control video format allowed to upload. Image Uploader supports uploading any file types, so you can restrict file formats acceptable and let your users upload only video files (WMV, AVI, FLV) or remove any restrictions.
-
Multiple files upload. Let your users upload several files at a time or even the whole folder (not supported in Image Uploader Express).
-
Configure maximum or minimum file size. The limitations for the number of files to be uploaded can be also specified.
-
Track the video upload progress. See the uploading progress bar indicator and stop the upload process whenever you want.
-
Be sure that uploads even of huge videos complete sucessfully. Restore broken video uploads automatically.
Why video uploads by Aurigma are so reliable?
Video files are usually pretty large, so you might face up with some difficulties while uploading them with regular upload tools:
-
Out of memory issues (both on client and server side).
-
Reduced server-side security (as you have to increase the maximum HTTP request length limit in your server settings).
-
Connection timeout problems.
To eliminate all these issues, Aurigma provides developers with the Chunk Upload functionality. The main idea of Chunk Upload is to divide large files into parts of specified size (chunks) and send them to server as separate HTTP request. Once the uploading is over the uploaded chunks are put together (we already have ready-to-use code for ASP.NET and PHP developers) and you have your video file.
Chunk Upload also enables to get rid of the necessity to re-upload the whole video file if the connection fails for some reason. The video upload process will be resumed from the incomplete chunk rather the from the beginning of the file. Aurigma can do it automatically.
Building Aurigma into a website
You can integrate Aurigma with any server platform you need as long as it is HTTP-compliable from the most wide-spread to the most exotic ones. However for ASP.NET and PHP developers special server-side libraries are available which make development very simple.
Aurigma is shipped with a comprehensive documentation and code examples, which make the learning curve as low as possible.
