Video Sphere

PokerTube is a video community where you can watch and upload poker videos. PokerTube is divided into two major parts “Your Films” which are all the films uploaded by members, and “From PokerTube” which is all the material from the site (interviews of well known and not so well known poker profiles, reports from big and small tournaments, worldclass card & chip tricks, documentaries and all sorts of moving images from wherever there’s a flop).

To upload a video you have to register/log-in. Once you’re registered you will have access to your own page where you can upload your videos, see all your uploaded films and activate/deactivate them.

When you upload a video you have to fill in certain fields: Title, Category and Language. You will also have to confirm that you hold all the rights for the video you’re uploading. PokerTube will screen all videos before publishing them.

Each video must be no more than 100MB with a maximum length of 60 minutes.

PokerTube accepts the following video file formats:

• avi
• wmv
• mov
• 3gp
• divx
• rm
• mp4
• mpg
• mpeg

Last month I presented Webcamtastic and Sigost.

Cameroid is very similar and let’s you take pictures with your computer’s webcam. You can add special effects such as morphs, but can also add your face to background images such as Mona Lisa, a monkey,…

There are tons of websites that allows you to distort pictures…but when you want to play in front of your webcam and have a live distortion, the number of website is drastically reduced…

Anyway, some websites propose to play with your live image, either by adding some distortion you can parametize, or simply by adding some live effects such as a burning effect or snow falling down, and stopped on the top of your head…

Webcamtastic and Sigost are quite similar concepts, since they allow you to play in front of your screen, adding distortion effects, then taking a picture and sharing this picture.

Do you know other websites like those, but also allowing to record your video ?

Last, but not least, interesting ressources to develop your own Flash application to play with your webcam on Andrew Trice’s Cynergy Systems blog.
