graham23s Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Hi GUys, i'v been reading up on this lately, uploading a video and having freeware software do the conversion to .flv seems to be the way to go, can i upload the software to my server and let the script do it's stuff, or does the software need installed before it will work, any tutorials on this would be great if anyone could point me in the right direction. thanks guys Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarebit Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I've not properly looked into this (from php), but from a few q's it's clear that utube use's something based on ffmpeg, http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/. I use that for everything else, but to answer your question, yes you'd have to have that installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rarebit Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Just thought of a sly way... You say that the uploaded content needs to be checked for valid content (there has just been an article on c4 news about facebook content removal), so all content is uploaded to some dir, then every 24hrs you dl, convert and re-upload. This could actually be automated with scripts using something like ncftp (not sure if there's a win ver though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 you can do that, or get a local server set up that will handle it. Just make your own unix server running apache with the ffmpeg installed and then simply every 8 hours run the script on your local that gets the data from the remote. I have done a simliar process before with the geoIP as I had it only on a single server, but could take advantage of it by using crontab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
