Description:
(URL removed) was founded as a solo project by myself in early April 2008, as an effort to integrate the DivX codec and webplayer platform into open source content management systems, such as "Joomla!". Following massive media hype, (URL removed) was soon receiving hundreds of visits a day - which quickly escalated into the thousands. Since then, I have enlisted the expertise of the highly regarded Istanbul-based programmer "Serhan Kiymaz". Kiymaz has been involved with multiple user generated video platforms previously (such as (URL removed) & (URL removed)) , and is also renowned for his work in Mobile Application development, namely for Turkcell network. VReel dropped the action plan of "open source DivX integration", and is now geared towards providing a High Definition user generated video portal.
