That's a big no-no on AppEngine. AppEngine is designed for lightweight HTTP requests. Video transcoding is a big heavy bag of number crunching.
VideoEgg's original business model was to do this sort of transcoding, but I believe they are out of that business. I think Blip.tv will help you, so long as your videos are appropriate to post on their service. Your other option is to set up a single-purpose server somewhere that runs ffmpeg on each video. You'd send it the raw files, and it would send you and email or something when they were ready. Since you're already learning AWS, you could do ffmpeg on EC2. One of the things I like about AppEngine is you don't have to be a systems admin to get a good setup going. Unfortunately, AWS is more system- adminie. Good luck! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
