I am developing a website, where I am allowing users to upload videos, but if the members numbers keep on increasing and they keep on uploading more videos it will be expensive for me. So I want to upload the movies to youtube instead, is this possible?
By viewing some other posts here, I am thinking it is possible?
You need Youtube API to upload the videos with PHP.
There are some ready scripts you can use to upload to youtube, the one that deserves mention here is:
PHPTube

Use the YouTube API with PHP
YouTube Uploader
In addition to Sarfraz's links you also have the Services_YouTube PEAR package and the Zend_Gdata_YouTube class. They are both very well documented.

How to upload an audio file in facebook using graph api in php? use
feed or anything i can't figure out how to upload?
As far as I know this is not possible. You can only upload photos and videos. But you could host your audio objects on your site and share them via the Opengraph Audio ComplexType. See the reference here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/creating-custom-stories#propertytypes
In a PHP system, my client suggested to download videos AND MAINLY captions from YouTube using the following tools:
cclive
gcap
As I have never heard of these before, my question is does anyone have any experience with them? Both projects seem to be inactive for like one year or so... Do they still work?
Is it possible to download captions for any YT video with them? I have stumbled upon some YT API info that the captions are not available for unauthorized users (i.e. you can only get your own captions if you are authorized with the API)?
Caption tracks can only be accessed via the Data API by the authorized owner of a given video.
The official YouTube Players can access caption data, but they use a different mechanism for accessing that data which is not part of a public API.
What I want to do is, to show uploaded videos list of my youtube channel to website's visitors.
Something like that. (Image take from youtube channel, I want to show exactly this way)
Don't want to create iframe. Can I fetch data from channels exact page with PHP or something else? I have no idea if it's possible with youtube api. Any suggestions?
Yes you can. The videos on a channel are essentially a user's so using the YouTube GData API you can make a call to http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?author=ahmednuaman (my videos for example).
I'm creating a video sharing website like YouTube. I want to make it so that it is difficult to download the videos to your hard drive. I want them to still be able to download the videos into F4Player just like any other video.
I am going to make it so that when somneone requests a video using the ID, a PHP script uses the ID to find the real filepath to the video. The PHP script then passes the video, that way no one will find where the video is actually stored. I also have htaccess set up so that no one can hotlink to my images or videos.
What else can I do?
EDIT: If it was the only way to get what I need I'd be wiling to make my own player in Java instead of using F4layer, but I strongly prefer using F4Player.
Write your own client side browser plugins, that would handle your proprietary encrypted connection to the video stream.
I need to upload video files through Facebook application and later visualize all uploaded videos so that people can vote for a video they like. I searched and read some articles, but I still have questions that are not completely clear for me:
Is it better to use iframe or FBML
If I use iframe is it possible to use input type="file" and PHP to handle the uploading just like on a normal page (not with Facebook PHP SDK)
Please give me an advice what direction to take.
Uploading to Facebook using their API is notoriously difficult; first of all check out the thread on the faceboook dev forum.
I would recommend doing it in an iframe, and you'll need about 60 cigarettes and several large whiskeys to get it working.
