Hi Carl, Yes as I told you this are my limits. The reason I don't preconvert is simple - space. If I do it I lose the concept of my app. I know that is easier but is not what I'm looking for.
There are api serveces who do that but it is too expensive if I do it for a lot of users. That's why I look for a way to do it by myself with ffmpeg. Working with any browser is not a must. If I make it work even with one is enough for my purposes. Thanks.
