Serverside Converter…… 15.09.08
Here`s the deal:
One server called myserver.dk is hosting a lot of identical sites.
A client has a site called; myserver.dk /yourskole, another client has a site called myserver.dk /myskole, they all have there serverside copy of the same script, but in different folders.
When a user from (example) myserver.dk /myskole uploads a clip via his script, lets say a .wmv-file, this file should go into a converter (perhaps ffmpeg open source), that converts the file to mp4, and places the done file in a folder called media (Absolut url: www. myserver.dk /myskole/media). Then the done file should also be embedded onto the frontpage perhaps as a mp4, otherwise as a Flash-file(then there should be two conversions), and should be playable from the frontpage. Offcourse the file should still be part of the podcast-feed. All the individual sites in the folders (/myskole, /yourskole) should use the same converter, and have there convertet files sent back to there own mediafolder, so the correct file becommes a part of the correct podcast.
I want the converter to; first recognize wheater it is a videoclip or a soundclip. If it is a videoclip, then convert to mp4, and perhaps flash (for the frontpage). If it is a soundclip then convert to mp3 file.
I want the converter to recognize mp3, m4a, mp4, m4v, mov, ogg, avi, flv, mpg, wma, wmv, aif, 3gp and amr. I`m not sure if there is more, but it is very importent for me, that it can convert files from a mobilephone, such as 3gp, amr etc.
About the flashplayer on the frontpages…….if it is easy, do it, if it slows down your timing and speed, forget it.
