Hi Ryan and Sean, this is pretty cool idea! As I started at AIP(Astrphysical Institute Potsdam) LatexCompilier and Editor project a lot of people were asking on movie and image convertor. Most of the requests are coming based on incompatibility between Mac and Win codecs. Currently I am using home brewed scripts to convert files but it is not integrated in to OC. LatexCompilier is not handling encrypted OC. If you disable encryption app on OC then you have on the server normal files so you can convert them in the backend as you want. If encryption is essential for your environment(you dont trust admins or you host in the remove cloud) then you should always decrypt file on the server using users keys convert then encrypt them back. For this things better maybe to use OC API function. I am not familiar with encryption api, maybe some one can comment on it.
In any case this app will be great addition in to OC. Greetings from Potsdam, Arman.
