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.
