How can my users upload a video to my site - what should I use?

Hi there,

I run a marketplace and I'd like my users to upload a video upon creating a listing which then displays on their listing page to the public.

What's the best way to do this? I tried Uploadify but it doesn't seem to be working for videos larger than 10MB, I need a 50MB limit.

Also, is there a way to allow users to OPTIONALLY upload video using their YouTube video link, for example, they fill in their YouTube video URL which then displays the video on the public listing page?

Thank you so much, I'm at wits end with this!

Paypal Users From India

I was sending a payment to an Indian citizen and Paypal alerted me with, "We're sorry. We're not able to complete personal payments to account holders in India at this time."

Therefore, if anybody is making a Paypal transaction with a user from India, keep this in mind.

Thanks, -A.Kimbrell

This is an ad that I inserted!

Zombie Island: Puerto Rico Drug Addiction Turning Resident Users Into Zombies (VIDEO)

On an island where the economy is manipulated by drugs, and hundreds of thousands of residents have consumed or are currently consuming addictive substances, it might not come as a surprise that Puerto Rico has been described as “the new front door of the war on drugs”, or “the backdoor to America.”

The island's strategic localization, its multiple rich ports, added to its commonwealth political status and relationship to the United States, have served drug cartels from South America and the Caribbean, as the perfect trampoline to the mainland.

But the drug doesn’t just travel out of the island; it also stays inside affecting residents every year. Thousands of people wake up everyday to the reality of having to maintain an addiction, to some of the most dangerous substances.

One of the island’s most common drugs, mainly for being cheaper and producing a strong high effect, is Xylazine, better known as horse tranquilizer. This new medication, introduced on early 2000 is primarily produced and used by veterinarians as an anesthesia for dental work or castration in horses.

In humans the powerful substance causes the mind to fade in and out of conscience and the body to bend to the ground even while standing on its feet. The effects last for a little less than six hours, leaving the addict with the need to roam the streets in a search for the next fix, many resorting to theft and panhandling in and effort to stay awake, and alive.

On a recent episode of "Drug Inc.", National Geographic Channel, labeled these Xylazine drug addicts as sleep walking zombies, living on a zombie island.
