Hi all
I have developed a web app that users can upload video to and have it converted. So far I have been using a LAMP based EC2 instance to upload videos to and then call a third party service to do the video conversion. The service is called using REST. The video is retrieved from the EC2 location and converted then output to an S3 bucket. This works great but I am trying to now use a public AMI that has FFMPEG to do the conversion.
If you haven't heard of it, the public AMI I am using is called Son of Monster Muck Mashup by Mitch Garnaat. He talks about using BOTO Service class to process video.
My questions are - 1) I assume I need to install BOTO on my LAMP based instance that is handling video uploads, if so how do I do this? 2) How do I call the FFMPEG instance to start converting video from my LAMP based EC2 instance?
I have more questions but this is a start many thanks
