Have an idea for a community based web page that would stream content. I'm looking for the first steps. How one goes about setting up a structure similar to the one used by a youtube...

Youtube uses a rather simple system.
- User logs in.
- User Uploads a video
Video path is saved in the users account data within
the database
- The video is embeded on the page using the specified
path to the video from the users account.
[ Video player ] -> Assigned to user
[ Video player ] -> Accesses that users account data
[ Video player ] -> Plays the specified file ID from the users
account
[ Video player] -> Streams the video according to the file
path that was matched up from the ID.
This way you dont have to search thousands of ID's for
just one video. The user uploads a video. Their videos are
associated with their account by their ID. And the path to
the video can be accessed simply by calling that ID from
the users account.
