transcoding

I'm trying to setup a workflow with automatic transcoding of ingested files to SD and HD with ffmpeg + audio normalization according to EBU R128 (loudness normalization).

I'm starting this discussion for others to chip in, if you have suggetions for how to best do this or if you are looking to do the same.

We have set up some bounties to help finance the development of OpenPackage Video. Each feature has an amount that must be raised before it will be implemented. We use the ChipIn system to manage donations. If you would like to contribute to the development of one of the features you can donate through its ChipIn widget.

op_video-5.x-2.1 is now available from http://openpackage.biz/.

The main highlight of this release is that it is now backward compatible with mysql 3.23 and php 4.3.3 in line with drupal 5 core and also now works with db table prefixes. If you have had problems before, please give this release a try.

Other changes:
'max duration' transcoding parameter
JW FLV Player must be downloaded separately and decompressed in the op_video directory
other random bug fixes

op_video-5.x-2.0.tar.gz is now available from OpenPackage.biz.

Highlights of this release are:

Local FFmpeg transcoding

For videos to be viewed in-browser, they must be transcoded to FLV format. In addition to the existing method of transfering videos to OpenPackage.biz for transcoding, videos can now be transcoded using a local installation of FFmpeg.

Hello,

I wrote a module derived from the drupal Video module to build a Youtube-like platform.
The site can be seen at http://www.kaouenn.net

Features:
- Creative commons licenses support
- auto transcoding to flash flv (with ffmpeg), with load balancing support (transcoding can be done outside the web server). Video formats supported include mpeg, realmedia, wmv... In fact the ffmpeg supported formats
- support video and audio only

The transcoding part is done with shell scripts updating the drupal DB through the XMLRPC interface.

OpenPackage Video is a module for Drupal 5.1 that enables YouTube-style functionality for your site. Submitted videos are transferred to openpackage.biz for transcoding to Flash video and then returned to your site for display. Our transcoding service supports all major codecs.

To use this service, transcoding credit must be purchased from the openpackage.biz website. It is sold by the megabyte.
