MarcelTV was a proof-of-concept site for an online video archival service. The system is meant to store, transcode and re-distribute older video content. Video art from earlier generations can then be preserved and streamed from modern-day devices.

Below is an image of the site late into its development.

The system is developed entirely with HTML/CSS/JS using the Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP stack. Looking back on the development phase, using some type of framework may have been advisable. Doing everything from scratch became exhausting but also served as a great learning experience.

I’m not sure how long ASAP will continue to host this project but if you would like to see it you can follow this link. Enter ‘marceltest’ for the username/password or register.
