-Browse Your Downloaded Videos on Internet
+# Purpose
 
-PHP based video webserver that exposes a local path containing videos to the internet.
+VideoWeb is thought for people who want to remotely access their personal movie collection. If you download movies e.g. using torrents, you can easily make them accessible in your local network using an UPnP/DLNA server, such as [minidlna](http://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/), [ushare](http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/uShare) or [mediatomb](http://mediatomb.cc/). But as soon as you want to stream your folder of movies through internet, there are only very few, very limited solutions (e.g. [vlc](http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)).
