I need to write a C/C++ program that uploads videos to ScreenCast.com. For uploading videos to YouTube there is a great manual that explains how it can be done with an http request. I can't find something like that about Screencast.
Maybe someone has experience with this or some related tasks. I'm quite new to programming, and would be very grateful for any advice or thoughts.
Thanks!
The right answer is that for now it is impossible. I have contacted screencast.com support, and they told me that they are going to make a puplic API somewhen in future

We currently host online tutorials on our website embeding the videos using Youtube.
However I have been asked to secure the video links so users need to authenticate in order to view the videos, and once authenticated, not be able to copy the video link and share it with others as they will be paid tutorials.
We use AWS to store our other assets (Website images, documents, etc) and want to use AWS to now store our videos.
Does anyone know the best way to secure these links so they can only be used from within our website and not be able to share the video links?
First of all think how much effort you want to put into solving a problem, that the world failed to solved in the last 40 years. We had VHS and everyone could copy everything. We had CDs and DVDs with copy protection. BlueRays can and are ripped too. If you consider how a book can be copied then it is a problem we failed to solve in the last 2000+ years.
Have you played with youtube-dl? Have you seen how easy it is to download things from youtube once you get access to it? And I could always use a screen recorder tool to capture the screen if all else fails.
Given how easy it is to bypass the copy protection, how much time do you want to spend into solving the impossible? Do you want to make the code more complex and the architecture more crappy (and the usability worse) along the way?
If the history has shown anything is that legal measures are the only way to protect from piracy. So you have two options here: pretend you do something to protect knowing you will fail or talk to the managers and convince them, that there are better ways of spending money.
By default, all objects in the bucket are private.
A pre-signed URL may solve your current problem.

I have about 200Gb of files on a Windows server file share that i want to upload in to S3. From looking at the documentation, it looks like i have to write my own API to do.
I'm an networking and server guy - I have no coding experience. Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting started? Has anyone ever done this before, who could maybe give me the high level overview of the steps involved, so that I can go an research each step? Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I am a newbie to cf and want to contribute cloud-foundry. Can somebody point me to a newbie guide? or anything else?
Thanks,
There are a lot of ways that you can contribute.
The easiest is to help answer questions. You can do that here on SO, on the CF mailing lists or on Slack.
Another easy way to help is with documentation. Docs are managed on Github and it's easy to submit fixes and improvements via PRs.
If you want to contribute code then you're going to need to dig in a bit more first. Cloud Foundry is a large project made up of many different pieces, so the first step is picking a component that interests you / where you'd like to contribute. This page in the docs has a good overview of the different components, so it's a good reference.
Once you've narrowed it down to a specific component of CF, then check the Github page for that component and look for instructions on contributing. Most of the teams have details about how to get started hacking on their projects. Here's one example, which is the Loggregator project.
You can also check the Issues page in Github or the team's Tracker project for outstanding issues that might need resolved. That can give you inspiration for ways to pitch in and help with the code.
Hope that helps!
I'm working with Amazon's Product Advertising API and need some help on a few issues. The questions I have posted on SO and Amazon developer forums have gone unanswered. Where can I find help?
Looks like your best bet is going to be to pay amazon for support: http://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/
My guess is that there aren't many people using that API hence the problem getting regular programmers to help you. This is evidenced by a notice on the main AWS page (https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/main.html) about a number of discontinued API operations and responses due to low usage.
"low usage" in this scenario is usually marketing speak meaning "no one except that one guy in Minnesota".
Couple of days ago I came across a website that offered (R)DBMS as a service. I did not find it useful at that moment. Now I might have changed my mind and I just can't find that website anywhere in the browser history.
I recall that it only required an email address to send you the db/account info to. And there was the line "yes, that's it/all" or something like that.
Anyone knows that website?
P.S.: I'm sorry, I know this is not what people typically ask at SO, but I think other developers might know more likely than anyone else.
Are you thinking of Amazon RDS?
Could it be CloudBoost.io? You can even check this directory out, as ErikE suggested. :
Was it FathomDB, perhaps?
Perhaps the Database as a Service Product Directory could be helpful to you.
