Hi, As the subject says, I need some help finding the right tool for a job. There are about 10 different projects that look like they would work and I'd just like some suggestions about what people tend to use most/find easiest to use, that sort of thing.
Here is the setup. I have a variety of .flv files already created and sitting in a directory. A user will pick a video to watch and my program needs to add subtitles and overlays on the video on the fly so that if the user saves the flv file locally, the subtitles stay with the file. If someone wants Norwegian subtitles for a short clip, they can save it locally and watch it with the subtitles without having to go back out to the web page. Right now I'm using PHP's readfile() to grab the flv from the server and pass it through to user, so I'd like to be able to continue to use php. If I had to, I could switch to perl, but I'd prefer to stick with php. My thought was that I'd just keep the subtitles as text and combine them on the fly as I pushed the video out, essentially creating a new video each time. I know I could create subtitled versions but I want people to be able to edit their own subtitles and some other things. I'm simplifying the tasks for the example. Another alternative would be to create individual flv files of the subtitles and combine 2 flv files into one when I'm pushing it out to the user. Any idea which projects might be best suited to this task?
