You could actually use vbulletin's forum software and use managed subscriptions to give access to certain areas of the site.
Vbulletin Suite would be best for this.

You might try showit sites. It's great for content delivery. It's flash based but I think they have an iPad/iPhone option. Http://Www.showitfast.com.

I have played with Dreamweaver and VBulletin. I can get a bare bones site done but where I hit the wall is the database heavy stuff of memberships and payment systems. Our PPV provider has a system, its the same one as Accu-Stats, but its hard to follow and IMO very clumsy and confusing for the end user.
Basically I am looking for a structure with all the database and video serving back end already in place so all I need to do is load the videos in the proper formats and update the site as needed.
CMS systems like Joomla seem to be able to provide most of the functionality I am looking for the problem is they do so much stuff it makes my head spin trying to figure out all the different options. Bottom line is I need either a web guy to set up a CMS that does what I need or a company that does something similar. I think.
I am thinking a stripped down UFC type site that allows members to view whatever video they like either on a monthly subscription basis or a pay per view method.
The main thing is it has to be scalable. When you are talking about hosting 100 or so videos things can get messy if the system isn't solid.
Thanks for the suggestions. Please keep them coming.

It's been awhile since I looked into it but I believe ccbill has a membership system that might possibly work for you. The processing fees aren't cheap as they normally deal in porn but it might be just the thing to get a site like your wanting off the ground.
Do you read your PM's? Maybe I shouldn't bother.
Does this mean no more DVD's? I would pay for this website, buuuut given the choice I'd rather watch the matches on my couch on the home theater.
In addition to your website, ever consider iTunes as an outlet? There are over 250 million subscribers, and almost no pool videos. Videos are protected using Apple's digital rights management, so you can have both a rental and purchase option. I believe revenue are 30/70 split.
Jay I read your PM. The sites you listed are very basic and while I'm sure they serve the function intended they are not what I am looking for. I appreciate the link and said so in an above post to all who have provided suggestions.
It's possible what I want is outside the resources I have available. The reason that I think it is possible is that every college chick and single mom working her way through law school has a site with the functionality I am looking for.
If I had my way I would go to all online content. But that won't happen anytime soon so we will continue to do DVD's.
That is an interesting idea. Never thought about selling on iTunes and you are very right when you talk about the potential audience. Thanks. I will look into what is required.
thats actually pretty cool and i hope JCIN gets this to work because it'll just give them another edge on accu-stats who i would've thought would've done this with all their matches by now. isn't it cheaper for the companies owners to charge to download for a certain amount of time and let the user put the match they want on their own dvd? Wouldn't it save the company such as accu-stats who has over 500+ matches a lot of time and money? just my inquiring thoughts maybe they work for a reasonable price maybe they don't. if someone knows the answer to this i would be intrested in learning something.
Well I am not going to do the research because I always end up with a CTD (computer transmitted disease) when I go surfing in that direction - - - but it seems to me that a person could open the site you like and then view the code to see what it's built in.
Most sites will have some sort of credits notification in the code if it was built using a template or cms
Good luck finding a webmaster on the cheap who is reliable. My feeling on this is that you pretty much have to hire someone full time or do the work yourself if you need things done that are time sensitive.
My recomendation for hosting is Host Gator. They are the dead nuts BEST webhost on planet Earth and all near galaxies as far as I am concerned. I have been through a lot of them.
HostGator has a full suite of FREE software that comes with all their accounts. They will support any CMS/Database system you can throw at them. And they have real true UNLIMITED bandwidth on their accounts. (last time I checked).
As for storage it appears to be truly unlimited as well as I have more than 100gb stored there right now on one of my accounts.

ill pimp out my geocities page for cheap.
The reliable webmaster thing is a big deal and I agree 100% about it being hard to find a good one without making it a full time paid gig. I am thinking what would be best is to find someone to put together the site and teach me the ins and outs of updating it and maintaining it then perhaps having some sort of deal for periodic maintenance or upgrades as needed. I have heard so many webmaster horror stories I am very wary of relying on anyone.
Problem I have ran into in the past is that everyone with iWeb or Dreamweaver sells themselves as a web developer and I can already hack together a website by myself. I dont want to pay someone to do a half ass job (I'm already good at that myself) but I would be willing to pay for a good solid basic framework that is scalable.
I guess a good analogy might be if a guy wanted to go racing. He could get his buddy to slap together something in his garage on a budget or do a lot of research and buy a reliable car ready to run. In either case you have to be able to do basic maintenance but I want to spend time driving not wrenching.
:grinning-moose:
I didn't list any sites. I gave you a referral to ONE person, who knows how to do exactly what you're looking for. :scratchhead:
I sent my friend the link, if he can do it then he will probably PM you or something. Would like to see you get this off the ground, you have a good deal of great matches in the can. Good luck! :wink:
The PM I had contained references to two websites. Thanks for taking the time to send me the info.
Read that PM again, one more time...slowly. That's his e-mail address on the website! Yes, he did set up my website as well, but when I asked him about doing what you have in mind, his answer was "No problem, that would be easy to do." I don't really care if you call him or not. I was just trying to help you out.
