Best Configuration for Performance - ffmpeg streaming / mp4 /flv
- by Sam Alex
I have some mpeg video files and a web page. A visitor comes to that web page and according to the selected options, a php script calls ffmpeg and combines the different mpeg files and then converts it to a mp4 file. That mp4 file is then shown to the visitor using flowplayer.
The MP4 creation takes some time and flowplayer takes some time to load the file. What do you think is the best way to accomplish this task ? Should i go for streaming server ?
I need to reduce the time taken for conversion. Will converting to FLV be faster ?
