I think it just reads clip information, it doesnt convert and you are right its possibly a problem to convert. Would it have to load stuff into a buffer to do the conversion if loading the clip first ? im not a c guy, i would prob do it via CLI i guess rather than via the web server and i guess its no different to running ffmpeg via CLI :) It is useful aparantly for capturing frames for thumnails + transformations, reading clip data etc, stuff mplayer can do also. _______________________________________________ Red5 mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/red5_osflash.org
