Web-based Video Upload and Preview

**OBJECTIVE/FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW:**

Develop a Web-based video feature for an existing web application:

1. A user can select and upload a high quality Quicktime, AVI, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 video file(s).

2. The code will validate that each file meets our requirements/restrictions for video files (e.g. file size, format, etc.).

3. Once a file has been validated and successfully uploaded, a 60-second FLV format preview file and thumbnail is generated.

4. Any user can view the streamed video preview using Flash's Playback Standard Component.

***** See attached document for full details. *****

**SCOPE:

**- The scope of this project is to build "a feature, " not a complete application, that our team will integrate into an existing web application. The delivered user interface only needs to contain the new feature as ASPX pages that will appear in the content area of our Masterpage via a ContentPlaceholder control.

- No database/data access code is required except what is necessary to faciliate development of the feature - we will replace the data access code with our standard data access methods during our integration of the feature.

- A Photoshop file will be provided by our graphic designer upon acceptance of a bid and will contain all the graphics necessary for you to cut up and implement the ASPX pages.

**OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

**Please provide an overview of your solution/approach in order for us to select a proposal that best fits our needs. You must disclose any requirements and costs involved in deploying the feature into production (e.g. licensing of 3rd party software, licensing of technology from Adobe for generating Flash preview (?), specific server setup/configuration, etc.) in your bid.

## Deliverables

1) Complete and fully-functional working features in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.

2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition based on the provided technical and functional requirements.

3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).

4) Code must be scalable, reliable, high in quality, written to industry-accepted web application and ASP .Net/C# standards. The code should be easy to maintain and modify, and should be properly commented and tested. All critical, high-priority bugs must be fixed before code is accepted and 3 months of support for delivered code after acceptance.

5) Code files should be easily added to an existing Visual Studio 2005 solution/project. The code should be split into a web layer (e.g. ASPX pages, Stylesheets, user controls, etc) and a service/business layer that contains classes that will provide business logic/functionality. Any data access code must be easily identifiable and replaced during our integration (e.g. data access methods). The feature should be easily configurable via code (e.g. provide configuration settings or class properties or parameters to methods that will allow us to set the required video file size, required format, length of the generated preview file, etc).

6) Code must not violate any software/technology licences or patents (e.g. Adobe for encoding/conversion).

7) Documentation must be provided to clearly describe any limitations, restrictions, assumptions, exclusions, or requirements of the implementation/deployment.

## Platform

**PLATFORM/TECHNOLOGIES REQUIREMENTS**

- The code must be developed using: ASP .Net 2.0, C#, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, CSS/Stylesheets, standards-compliant HTML, Ajax or Flash/Actionscript.

- UI/client code must be cross-browser compatible for all major browsers and versions (e.g. IE 6, IE 7, Safari, Firefox, etc) on Windows and Mac at a minimum.

- FYI: We are hosted on Windows Enterprise Server 2003 and are using SQL Server 2005.

**SKILLS/EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS:**

- Minimum 4 years experience in designing, developing, and deploying scalable, reliable, maintainable Internet/web business applications

- Expertise in ASP .Net (at least 1 full year with ASP .Net 2.0) , C#, XML, CSS

- Expertise in working with current online video technology (e.g. video formats, conversion, streaming video, common issues, constraints, etc).

- Experience working with Flash/Actionscript
