Re: [Flashcoders] server-side convert to flv
Hi Gerry Does anyone know of a server-side application to convert uploaded video in mpg, avi, mov or wmv format to flv? Something like what youtube.com is doing? I searched the archives and couldn't find anything. I don't know what youtube is using but, ffmeg (http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net) is pretty good. I've been using it and it's scriptable. It's LGPL licensed. arthur ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] server-side convert to flv
I'm interested in using ffmpeg. Having never used any server-side engines/scripting other than a little ASP, I haven't a clue how ffmpeg gets implented, and their website seems to presume advanced user knowledge. Can anyone steer me to something that explains how to implent ffmpeg? For instance, what kind of server, where does the code sit, what are some typical application scenarios and how were they put together? thanks, Marc At 09:04 AM 4/11/2006, Arthur Debert wrote: Hi Gerry Does anyone know of a server-side application to convert uploaded video in mpg, avi, mov or wmv format to flv?

absolutely you need to look at the licensing for anything you might transcode. On 4/11/06, Karthik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've tried it, but the usual answer to this question is to look up FFMPEG.

Re: [Flashcoders] server-side convert to flv
Hi Mark, I recently setup ffmpeg on a shared host, i use Dreamhost, i believe it's Debian. It took me a couple days to track down all the information and quite a few compiles, i won't tell you how many, before i got it right. I'm also not really strong in this department either though so that might attribute to the amount of times i had to compile everything. You have to compile lame first then compile ffmpeg with lame if you want to output audio with your video. I use php as that's what is on my server but i'm sure it's just as easy to use anything else. I'm having a difficult time getting everything to work properly in a windows environment using apache but i haven't really had much of a chance to really dig in. Sönke has a nice little setup / tutorial that walks you through the setup of FFMPEG, LAME and a few others on windows... http://soenkerohde.com/tutorials/ffmpeg/ i documented my setup process on dreamhost thoroughly, not sure if that will be any help to you though..
