I have a web page with html5 <video> where a visitor can record him/herself and upload. I've created this web page in addition to a video web site ()where users have to log into to upload). I thought the additional page would make it easier for people to create content. But, I'd like to get their email address along with their video, so I know how to contact them, after the upload, but, not have to have them jump through hoops just to upload (if so, they may as well register and log in to upload). So, I'm looking for suggestions, like email authentication first, maybe? How would I add this to the html, php or javascript? Any guidance/ideas/suggestions are appreciated.

    If you want to make sure you collect an email address, you'll need to prompt them for it. Where you prompt them is entirely up to you. Perhaps if you could ask a more specific question, we might be able to help.
