I'm using an ffmpeg call with commans.getoutput for the conversion, I don't know if this means it runs in a separate process. I could put another simple pure wsgi application running on some other port for the conversion, but I don't know if this is what you mean. > Also, from what I understand Django's abilities to serve up static > files or streamed data, isn't that excellent.

So, how exactly are you returning the converted data > for Django to respond with? At this moment I read the file and return the response from django, so I guess this is a problem too. I think I could just serve the file with nginx.

Is this better than running django on apache? I mean, wouldn't nginx be serving static files and running django at the same time? I thought this was something to avoid. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
