Autoconvert stream on fly

Posted: Nov 2, 2009

Can flowplayer transcode from avi to flv on the fly on the client side.

I have a media server, all video have avi format ,
I want to be that users could have a possible to
view video files from my server. But avi - to large and too much weight as the Internet channel.

Example:

User click on "Play" and Videofile.avi ---> Videofile.flv ---> Play On User Screen :)

ALL convert make by user computer, not server . Videofile.avi - Should not be fully loaded by the user, but only when viewing the file

Sorry the player cannot do this. Transcoding is quite a heavy process and cannot be done on the fly in the player.

Beyond that going from AVI to FLV is not transcoding, it's complete conversion (decode/recode). In true transcoding the stream formats are similar; for AVI and FLV they are completely different. That goes for the audio as well.

The vast majority of people wouldn't have the hardware to support real time conversion while also viewing the video.

Think about it...if this were possible it's what everyone would be doing. Instead, they have multiple versions of videos on their server.

Ok, if i have separate server for avi to flv Coding , flv -
be stored permanently (or rather the current view) and then automatically deleted after stopping view )) i don't need to store flv copy of my avi video on server !

It possible?? :)


What hardware i need ? For example , 200 views simultaneously
