--- Comment #15 from SJ <[email protected]> --- Update: during Wikimania there was discussion among a couple MW devs (thanks, Brion) and Alexis @ the Internet Archive to enable automatic conversion to free formats in something like the following way: At the upload stage, when detecting a non-free video format - Ask for basic title/source information - Inform the uploader that [Commons] does not accept that format because it is non-free, and that the Internet Archive will automatically convert it to a free format. - Pass the file handle to IA, upload there with the same title & metadata - Wait for IA's transcoding to finish, grab the URL of the .webm version - Insert that into the TMH upload and continue. This would address Kelson's concerns, and the concerns raised in the MP4 rfc. IA stores the original, maintains ffmpeg and related code, and handles the conversion. We include a link back to IA in our file description, to attribute its part in the process and point to the original. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
