ffmpeg several files processing

Question

Hi!

I need to process by ffmpeg many video files, located in upload directory on php. Processing is time cost, so i need to use some processing technique. What could you advise me?

Answer 1

I was thinking about doing something similar using a bash script or a couple of bash scripts. Once you decide on how you will use ffmpeg you should be able to set up a watch folder so when files are added they start getting processed - once one is done it starts the next one - this is what I was thinking for my script anyway.
