VidSpace

 is a video-sharing website based in El Kadsre founded by former Seymour Games employee Tyrrell Takara. Launched in 1997, the site was the precursor to YouTube. As of 2020, over 30 billion videos have been uploaded to the site, while the first 50 were uploaded during its first month of activity.

Its main competitors are YouTube, Vimeo, and DailyMotion.

Pre-Alpha testings
VidSpace began development in 1992 by Driller Engine programmer Tyrrell Takara, who has previously worked with Seymour Games and other independent developers at the time.

Because Internet access bandwidth and video transcoding technology at the time were limited, Takara had to make the plugin called "VidSpace Player", capable of streaming embedded videos with  audio in the webpage. Because Takara has little to no experience of website development, he contacted few Netspace employees to help him develop the site.

Launch
On January 17, 1997, VidSpace was launched on the internet. The first video of the site titled "Me testing my video website project" was uploaded to the site two hours later. It was successful with 50 videos being uploaded each month of activity. Most of the multimedia players added support for VidSpace. The offices were in El Kadsre City whilst the servers and international mainframe operations were based in Glonisla.

At first, VidSpace's custom-designed Linux-powered mainframes were prone to rendering playback ID errors, 500 Internal Server Errors and in some cases, browser crashes due to faulty hard drives, and as a result server engineers were given a special hammer as part of their regular electronic mainframe repair kits. When banged against the area of the drive, it would temporarily fix the problem. The business end was made out of a patented lead-hardened Tyvek mixture developed by University of El Kadsre students, and formulated so it wouldn't damage the internal electronics when pounded on.

Rise of VidSpace
The success of VidSpace led to creating apps and clones. In February 2001, VidSpace launched a premium subscription service, called VidSpace Plus. The service allowed users to upload much longer videos (such as making short films), playing videos with high quality, and getting the new features early.

In August 2001, VidSpace had major upgrades, video player was switched to 16:9 widescreen and the quality upgraded to DVD-quality 576i video playback.

In 2003, VidSpace migrated to Flash.

Modern era
In November 2004, VidSpace was redesigned to have a clean look, new features, improved playback quality, much longer videos, and more social networking features, Also, the 720p HD video playback and MPEG-4 format was introduced, making it the first video-sharing website to have high-definition quality.

1080p Full HD video playback was introduced in December 2005. 4K Ultra HD was introduced in January 2010. In May 2013, VidSpace transitioned to HTML5, allowing playback on iOS, Android, Portosic OS, and ViraOS devices.

VidSpace has recently begun to offer paid, free-to-view uploads of full episodes of TV series and movies, striking a deal with in 2018 to allow PBS' VidSpace accounts to upload full episodes from PBS and  shows, plus remastered versions of older shows and episodes. Similar to, they have advertisements (though an ad blocker can offer an uninterrupted experience).
