Hi Dan,
I use ffmpeg on my server for converting video files, helps a lot in
cases where the customer isn't savvy about video sizes or formats.
Basically I get them to upload a video file via FTP or a form, in pretty
much any size or format. Then a script runs which tells ffmpeg to
convert the movie to FLV at a certain size and caches it somewhere. It
also takes a screenshot of the movie to use as the initial screen in the
player.
Then I use flowplayer to display the video. But any will do.
This isn't bundled up into a nice module, but I can give specific code
snippets if needed. ffmpeg is a bit of a pain to have to install and
maintain, but I like the functionality it offers.
Harvey.

Hi,
Anyone got any suggestions on a good video plugin I can use on a custom PHP job?
Client wants to upload video, and then serve it back through the web -
doesn't want to use a public platform like Youtube or vimeo.
I'm imagining whatever the php plugin, it would manage the uploading
process, transcode to FLV, then serve up through a flash player on
front-end. Happy to do some integration on front and backend to make
this work.
Anyone had to do something similar and can save me some time searching
through possible solutions?
Thanks,
-Dan
