Deprecated - Media and document management

What are the first steps of creating a youtube like web site? I am working on a project that requiers me to develope a youtube like community, but I do not even know how to get started, I am a Joomla developer, so I am trying to see how this would or could work.

Thanks,

I don't really know if this is a real risk with the current Forms API set up in Drupal or not. But I thought I'd throw it out there -
a) to present the possibility so people are at least aware of it and
b) present a possible means for reducing or eliminating it.

Flash content is becoming increasingly popular in general - this is likely to continue (future support for H264 video format etc). Some modules implement support for flash to make it easier to include flash content.

If a person with content management rights (that include the upload of arbitrary flash content) uploaded a malicious flash file, then there is a potential security risk in the following way:
The swf could be constructed to attempt to load admin config pages/forms (and do nothing if it fails, because it does not have permission). This would not be visible to anyone except via an immense surge in watchdog reports.

Hi everyone. I'm having problems trying to upload images to my test site. I never uploaded images before and i am new to drupal (drupal dummie). everytime i try to attach files/photos to my blog entry it takes me to a pop up box with my images (0) all images (0) and No images were found. Please upload a new image or browse images by a different category. then when try to upload it takes me back to a blog entry!

I've managed to actually embed a pdf file in a node by editing the HTML manually using code like this:

<EMBED CLASS="xyz" SRC="/files/myfile.pdf#view=FitBH,top&pagemode=none&scrollbar=1&statusbar=0&messages=1&navpanes=1" "BORDER=0 HEIGHT=500 WIDTH=98% ALT="">

Hello,
I've been trying to make a block that lists the latest X images similar to the one that lists the latest blog entries. Found the snippet that does this by calling a list of thumbnails linked to the nodes, but it looks way too cluttered to me - hence I just want something that calls text links (title of the image node) to the nodes themselves. The image_gallery.module calls both thumbnail and title, but I'm not a coder and my attempts to glue something together from the two snippets failed.

I posted this to the drupal support list and got no response I'm hoping someone here might be able to help

I'm sure someone has already figured this out, but I feel I've done the due dilligence on my own and am now reaching out for help.

I have created 3 content types with all the relevant fields....
