    Anyone do video conversions in mass scale?

    Lets say I had to convert 1800+ member vids into multiple streams for multi-device playback and an adaptive stream for apple devices, who would you recommend? (hosting solution built in would be much appreciated, too)

    If you are a bit technical you can build your own with the FFmpeg library. This is what I did. I used Pandastream and Zencoder (more expensive) in the past and they both work really well.

      Yeah we have done it ourselves in the past, but with the sheer volume of videos and streams needed to process, we dont have the time to do it.

      Thanks for the links

        it's not that hard to do it yourself, just need one or two days to setup and adjust setting.

        We use a dedicated server based on a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1241 + SSD which is enough to encode our videos using ffmpeg and ftp to upload the video once encoded.
        I don't know if ffmpeg can do adaptive stream but for the other format it's quite easy and result is good

          Encoding.com does it, and they have system to do HLS and send to your Amazon S3 Bucket.

          Amazon has Elastic Encoder that will do it and drop the files right in your Amazon S3 bucket

            Yeah - we just tried encoding.com and we ended up with a 1700$ estimate after just 200 and some videos. And their support was slow to figuring out what we would owe.

              We ended up sticking back to this solution with 3 machines.. hoping we have enough time to encode all for when we need it all live.

                We also try the beta from OVH UPC: HPC - High Performance Computing by OVH - OVH quite impressive and not expensive, but it was too hard to make it all automatic but encoding a video was very fast.

                  I provide PinkEncode - Plateforme automatisée d'encodage vidéos - mp4, flv, avi, watermark
                  You send xml with videos list with the param do you want to the server, it do the job and send you xml with encode status.
                  You juste have to make a little piece of php to put the encoded videos where you want .

                  You can watermark, make thumbs, extract with the duration do you want, choose the type of file you want (flv, mp4) ...

                    Code:
                    #!/bin/bash
                    
                    #Start in the parent directory with the files
                    
                    ls -RdX $PWD/* >out
                    grep -i "\.flv" out >out2
                    error lol  1 min
                    Figure out how to make the files you want here.
                    Converting AVI to MP4 with ffmpeg

                    Use a LINUX server with ffmpeg installed and configured.
                    You might want to use rsync to move the files and convert them on a non production server or go down for "maintenance".
