I'm looking at options for adding streaming video to a social web site written in ASP.NET/C#. I have a great deal of experience with Flash too, so I'm comfortable using FLV players, but I'd definitely go Silverlight if the right library is available. The library would need to be able to encode user uploaded video in a web format. I ima...
I looking for something that I can either embed their uploader directly or send the video files to that will then encode the video and allow me to stream the video through a player on "my" website. The services, I have found so far are: Bits on the Run Bright Cove Video Streaming Services The service cannot be like YouTube ewhere th...
I would like to record the user's interaction in my Java Applet as a video to send (potentially stream) to my server with the intention of uploading to Youtube (or similar). A high frame-rate is not required (a couple frames per second is sufficient). Minimizing the bandwidth used is preferred, so sending jpeg snapshots to the server a...
I have to choose methods for digitizing and encoding media for a project which collects media from a variety of sources. What are the open media encoding standards I should consider? What could be the factors which affect my decision on the selection of one? Cheers Uchitha ...
I have a video decrypter library that can decode an obsolete video format, and returns video frames in BMP and audio in WAV through callback functions. Now I need to encode a new video in any standard format under windows. What might be the standard way to do this? I am using Win32/C. I guess Windows has its own encoding library and dr...
I am wondering if it is possible to host videos on the azure platform. Does Azure allow encoding videos using expression encoders before storing them as a blob. I am imaging a process/architecture where video is upload via client, saved to a location on azure and queued up. A process runs to pick it up from queue, encode it and save i...
I'm interested in installing ffmpeg or somesuch on my server so I can upload files, automatically encode them to FLV and then serve up a embedded player to use on my pages. The problem is that I don't know where to start. I don't want to have to spend days coding a web based encoding service, as I'm more interested in using an out of th...
Hi Folks, Was wondering if there exist out there any paid for or free .NET libraries (dlls) that performs file conversions, specifically for video. E.g .mov to .avi or 3gp etc. I've been googling all morning and found plenty of programs and sites that perform these tasks but we need top be able to build solution into our own application...
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 b...
Whats the best approach (read painless) that I could take? Primarily, the application needs to record the webcam video + mic recording on the disk and compress the video using ffmpeg (or something similar). So there is hardware involved + running a separate process for encoding. I was seriously considering Adobe AIR - but I read on the...
Because the xbox 360 only supports specific video/audio codecs, I'd like to write a utility that would look in a directory and convert files to specific formats as they are dropped in the directory. In some cases, it would only need to convert the container format (ie, mkv to wmv or avi) and in some cases it might need to convert the a...
If you were asked to offer a multi-site video conferencing solution, where quality is more important than price, what would you offer? With my current knowledge I can offer just two things: 1) Use hardware codecs for pears and make one server MCU. (This way I offer just intallation and configuration of the hardware) 2) Use PC for each pe...
I want to check that users will be able to encode the main video formats using FFMPEG running on a server. So far most of the videos I have tried have worked but want to find out where things may fall down. Is there a good list and hopefully attached files to download showing the main video formats for video that users will find online a...
I have a site that allows people to upload large video files in various formats (avi, mp4, mkv and flv). I need to generate a 1 minute "sample" from the larger file that has been uploaded, and the sample needs to be in the same format, have the same frame dimensions and bit-rate as the original file. Is there a way to simply cut out a se...
I need to be able to allow users to upload a wide variety of video files in various formats then clean them up and make them kosher for delivery to a dedicated content handler. I've tried ffmpeg onsite but it has some serious flaws in regards to h.264. Then I tried flixcloud.com which has a very good interface, api, and was looking lik...
Hi Have been doing a lot of research on obtaining best quality video for use by the Flash Player. Since the latest Player(version 9 and up) supports the H.264 codec I assume thats the way to go. However am confused as to which output application and options to use for the best quality. Have used open source Handbrake with mixed results. ...
Hey, Does anyone know a good way to do real-time video re-encoding (Target formats being 3GP s263 AMR narrowband and MP4 mp4v mp4a, but not at the same time of course. Input files would be WMV, but the more input formats supported the better)? Currently we do asynchronous processing using a C# service that calls the ffmpeg command-line...
Does anybody know how to stitch two (or more) videos together using ffmpeg (or another cli)? This is assuming that all the videos are in the same format and the video format being used allows for lossless stitching (no transcode, just end-to-end stitching). ...
I'm looking for a scriptable utility to convert a bunch of BMPs and a WAV file into a video. XviD needs to be the output format. I'd like it to work on Linux (Ubuntu) if possible. A command line utility would be great, as I have 36 videos to create this way. A bash (or [insert favorite scripting language here]) script would be great ...
My app takes time-lapse photos, and also records audio to go with it. The problem is, I have absolutely no idea how to go about turning it into a .mov/.mpeg file (I am new to this type of iPhone development). I have heard some things about FFMPEG, but apparently the license doesn't cover the public distribution of iPhone apps. Anyone hav...
