Hi Carl, As I mentioned above I want to be able to play it in a HTML<video> tag. As in a video tag it can be only 3 formats. I can't play avi, so that's why I try to convert it.
I have a server with files. Not all of them are HTML<video> tag compatible. I want to be able to play them in a browser, but I don't want to keep another copy with another format on the server. And I can not convert them and have the converted copy either because I must be able to give back the original file to the user. So that's why I try to play it during the conversion. I suppose the live streaming is done in the same way. You convert the stream to a compatible format and then you embed it in the <video> tag, right? Do you have any suggestions?
