My VPS host is great too. They have great ffmpeg support. But as penagate mentioned we have a configuration feature so it can also run on shared hosting sites (we started out on shared host). You can start out on a low end VPS package for not too much more then the price a good shared package. No reason to go directly to dedicated servers.
The main point though is that you can host videos and be unique with exclusive content that you are totally in control of. If youtube doesnt like your video (for copyright or whatever reason) they will remove it. Then you have a bunch of threads with no videos
Also, another point is that its hard to attract traffic / new members if you are linking to the same video content that everyone else is linking to too. Why would I join a site to watch youtube videos when I could either stay where I am at (assuming I was a member at a site with youtube links already) or just go to youtube.com and watch them directly?
Thanks, its been a long hard road over the past 6+ months as our AdOn is 100% natively integrated with vBulletin and is secure as vBulletin itself. We still have many features planned for future versions but if we dont stop developing on the current version we will never get it released lol.
