Encoding Video to Detailed Pages? >>
Hi,

With all the video sites out there gaining popularity, I thought it would be smart to start looking in that direction.

Has anyone successfully accepted video submissions with Links? What options are available (mpg, mmv, Flash encoding video?

If you have ant suggestions, or know how to do this I would appreciate it. Thanks!@

Hi,

We have done a similar plugin/mod for GC and I think there is no prolem with glinks for this. The conversion can be used ffmpeg

So, if you have a video per link, that will be easy. Just have a cron to convert the file of link to flash file and customize the detailed.html template to show that video

Hope that help!

Cheers,

Please get in touch with me about this Plugin/Mod. I'm interested.

Currently I'm going over my different flash conversion options for user submitted video. Less bandwidth.

Thanks.

Thanks so much for the help! Very useful!

I may give this a try as an alternate option to flash encoding at the moment. Quality would be better in some cases.

Thanks again! Wink
