This pretty much breaks the 'instant' gratification you currently get on upload. The segmenting is going to significant harm compression efficiency for any inter-frame coded output format unless you perform a two pass encode with the first past on the server to do keyframe location detection. Because the stream will restart at cut points. > * I tie transcoded chunks to user ids this makes it easier to disable > bad participants. Tyler Durden will be sad. But this means that only logged in users will participate, no? _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
