Trasconde

Trascoding is performed using GStreamer framework. Videos are encoded using a pipeline with the following features:

  • H.264/AVC as video codec
  • AAC as audio codec
  • MP4 as container

A custom GStreamer pipeline can be provided via file (A basic knowledge of GStreamer is required)

Upload

Upload is allowed via:

  • FTP (authenticated/anonymous)
  • Amazon Web Services S3 (exinsting/new Bucket)

Credentials and several options can be provided via file

TODO

  • OO version
  • GStreamer via gst-python lib
  • GUI
  • FTP TLS
