FFmpeg Server-side Conversion Without The Php Script, And Lossless Conversion Quality
Aug 16, 2007
Prior to installing FFmpeg and its dependencies, I want to know about FFmpeg server-side conversion without the php script. Does it require those php scripts in the first place or I can just run an ssh command?
Also, does this FFmpeg have a configuration file in which you can set the quality of the converted .fla videos?
How about a lossless quality conversion and keeping the size proportion of the video the same?
Meaning, for example, from .avi to .fla without sacrificing/loosing the quality much or noticeably.
I want to do a "near-lossless" video conversion, if that is even possible, in keeping the proportion of the original video. Veoh seems a little bit better / at a higher quality than youtube, and I want to achieve higher quality than that. Literally speaking, I want the converted flv video's quality to be as close as the original video. What ffmpeg command exactly do I need to achieve this? I currently use ClipShare and is experimenting with Ostube for the php script. The default "high-quality" setting for both scripts are not that good of a quality either, with choppy images.
I have ffmpeg installed on a webserver. If I enter the command to begin a conversion process, or the command is sent through PHP via exec(), it keeps going until it finishes or runs into an error.
Is there a way to cancel a conversion process after it's been started either through the command line or via PHP exec()?
how to translate this into what would be needed in port speed to cover this server if converted to colo, in Mbps ? Is it 4.5?

Also, is there a real need to be on a burstable connection, or are flat rates OK most of the time? Just looking for the advantages and disadvantages of it.
Nirvanix offers "Image manipulation such as image resizing, thumbnail generation, and rotating, video frame extraction, video conversion to Flash video". Is there any competitor? I guess building one on top of S3/EC2/SQS from Amazon would be a no brainer.
to create an .htaccess rewrite so that all urls in a given directory have their files rewritten so that the %20 spaces are converted to dashes. I'd also like to convert my upper case words to lower case, to stay consistent with other conventions we use in the url.
/directory/Example%20Link.aspx to /directory/example-link.aspx
I would like to know if there's any way we could reduce "conversion times" for videos while converting them with "mencoder" and "x264 codec"?
Is it possible to cluster 2-3 or more servers (Quad core/8GB RAM) so that I can reduce the conversion timings effectively?
The original video sizes are around 500-700MB on an average and I'd like to convert them using mencoder in x264 codec @ 500Kbps bitrate and 2pass settings.
Ofcourse it'll take atleast 1-2hours to encode 1 such video at these settings on a 'single' such server, so is there a way to reduce the conversion times to around 10-15minutes/video by using "parallel encoding" with x264 codec?P.S: I know how to form a cluster, using beowulf/rocks, etc...what I need help with is 'using' the cluster with x264 codec
My server is Win2003 Standard with IIS 6. I'm using IIS6 to host websites but i have a need to run subversion which require Apache. I'm wondering would it cause any problem with my current operation. Apache will run on different port than the standard 80.
I've been asked to find a way to host our intranet externally without opening up the network.
The webserver accessible to the public domain is within an dmz. The intranet I need to serve is within our internal network.
I've managed to convince our network admin to open port 80 on the server running the intranet but I can't seem to find a way to proxy the content from the intranet server, through the webserver and to the user.
I want to enable our server ssi server side includes (.shtml parsed).
My hosting company controls our server uptime, daily backup, server loads etc. when i request them; can you please enable ssi for shtml pages, i want to use ssi includes etc.. they suggested me use php instead of shtml for includes.
I want to .shtml, beacuse i use only ssi include header, footer same pages, also these pages search engine friendly.
Apache version: 2.0.52
I posted them please add following lines and restart apache afterwards:
Options +IncludesNoExec AddType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
They added and restarted apache, but not any affect. When i access .shtml pages via web browser, page opening successfully but not parse ssi includes, example:
<!--#include file="header.html" -->
but not parse, also i cannot use .htaccess files, our server admin say restricted them because security reasons.
I requested them our server root username and password, they say to me; before give you server root password, we remove all our server administration software from server and server administration service will be cancelled.
This topic has probably been covered many times. I am trying to block spam bots from direclty accessing scripts on my site. Measures I have taken thus far, also block my site pages that want are designed to use the scripts. This includes Hot Link Protection and a couple of directives in the .htaccess file.
I've problem with my system (Dell vostro200) I've Mcafee security center and it will block some scripts running in the system during the browsing. I can't use any of vBulletin forums ( registration and posting ) I can't do even Mcafee online registratation also. I'm not an expert in os configurations.
I want to pay up front a monthly fee and have it fully managed so I don't have to worry why the MySQL server just suddenly died or why Server 4 doesn't respond.
We have a dedicated server with huge application that use intensively one database and we notice that we block at 15000 people / days ... our website is arkadia.com
So my questions are :
* is the server can be full and this why we block at 15000 people / days ? most important, how to check it ?
* is the DNS (enom.com DNS server) can be not fast enalf or not wheel configured ? how to check it ?
* is the hosting company can be not good enalf (low bandwith for exemple or someting else)? again how to check it ?

Additional information:
The number of visitors, initially to 10000 per month (probably much less or slightly more, not yet known) The audience will be visitors from the following countries: Ukraine, Russia, Poland, UK, Germany, France, USA and Canada.
Budget: up to $ 200 a month. But if such amount is not sufficient for the entry requirements, are ready to revise the budget.
Need a really high-quality channel of communication and operational support, etc. Perhaps for these tasks, you recommend other requirements to a server and placing the territory? Check your real council.
Also look in the direction of affordable rental server and utilization of services: Akamai Technologies. If someone has experience working with Akamai, I ask, share their views. Should I use it for such a project?
A lot of information has been revised to servers in Germany, UK and USA. But the single answer, yet to be found.
I am developing a phpfox site and in order to use the video capabilities I need a host with ffmpeg installed.
My current host were a bit misleading and let me think I could pay them a small sum to install ffmpeg on a shared server and that would see to it. Turns out I would need to get a dedicated server, which was quite a shock when I saw the price of that.
I would like to know if shared servers with ffmpeg are worthwhile, or is a dedicated server generally regarded as the only way to go?
If success can be achieved with shared hosting, are there any hosting companies that would be recommended. Apthost is a name that seems to crop up quite regularly, but I don't know how to tell a good host from a bad host, so I'm asking you all!
P.S. My bandwidth needs shouldn't be more than 100gb/month at the start, but that is only a rough beginner's guess.
I would like to run FFMPEG to process video uploads on my site, but I am currently using a shared host which does not allow me to use this program. I cannot yet afford a dedicated server. Is there anything else I can do?
I have server with the Plesk control panel on Linux server and want to install ffmpeg + MPlayer + LAME + FLVtool2 + MediaInfo + Mencoder + MP4Box + neroAacEnc , but not sure about the steps to install it. Is there any script or easy steps to install ffmpeg + MPlayer + LAME + FLVtool2 + MediaInfo + Mencoder + MP4Box + neroAacEnc on my server.
