Re: [videoblogging] MEDIA.DREAMHOST.COM
It's a nice step from Dreamhost ! Whithin a few years, every serious hosting service will have a media transcoding service included. ffmpeg is quite robust and since this summer the flv support is quite good, you can install it easily on your own dreamhost account also http://www.catmindeye.com/media/2006/07/installing_ffmpeg_on_dreamhost.html! With some tweaks, it support mp4 files. I have a test server (with a ffmpeg converting tool) running on a "Crazy Domain" plan. And it works quite well : http://dev.podesk.com/guest.php/ Bertrand 2006/12/7, Mike Hudack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Well, basically, sure. But On2 is expensive and doesn't do everything > itself.

Re: [videoblogging] MEDIA.DREAMHOST.COM
On2 is definately the standard right now for providing Sufficient flv transcoding needs. Since Dreamhost is obviously tinkering with ideas and giving their customers some basic tools like this I would not be surprised if they added On2 as part of a more robust solution and start marketing it accordingly. They have now been dabbling in ways to archive your media forever, sell your media, share your media and now transcode and display your media. Maybe they build a wordpress plugin that gets included with the one-click install process which binds that publishing platform with their own hosted services to make it easy to publish media... to vlog and podcast etc. Feasible. A turn-key solution on top of their existing hosting platform would only take some focus and could become quite popular...

Well, basically, sure. But On2 is expensive and doesn't do everything itself. It also doesn't provide super-wide compatibility.

Re: [videoblogging] MEDIA.DREAMHOST.COM
If Dreamhost licenses the On2 FLV encoder, then they'll have the same stuff used by just about every video upload portal on the web today. This can convert just about any format to FLV. -josh On 12/7/06, Mike Hudack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm sure they're using ffmpeg, which is good, free and open source but > has a significant disadvantage in terms of the latest codecs. > > > -Original Message- > > From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WWWhatsup > > Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 12:34 PM > > To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com > > Subject: Re: [videoblogging] MEDIA.DREAMHOST.COM > > > > I was a little disappointed to find the dreamhost encoder > > does not accept mp4 > > > > joly > > > > > > sull wrote: > > >Dreamhost now offers flv transcoding and flash viewers/tools. > > >It's not all the difference... and so far you cant do batch > > transcodings... > > >but maybe soon you can. > > > > --- > > WWWhatsup NYC > > http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com > > --- > > > > > > > > > > Yahoo!

I'm sure they're using ffmpeg, which is good, free and open source but has a significant disadvantage in terms of the latest codecs. > -Original Message- > From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WWWhatsup > Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 12:34 PM > To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com > Subject: Re: [videoblogging] MEDIA.DREAMHOST.COM > > I was a little disappointed to find the dreamhost encoder > does not accept mp4 > > joly > > > sull wrote: > >Dreamhost now offers flv transcoding and flash viewers/tools. > >It's not all the difference... and so far you cant do batch > transcodings... > >but maybe soon you can. > > --- > WWWhatsup NYC > http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com > --- > > > > > Yahoo!
