I'm building simple web-based tool for editing or replacing music in a movie. Simple player for preview the video with new music is really complicated. You have to build all processing infrastructure to convert avi, mpg etc. to, say, webm. Other option would be to leverage youtube for converting, but it's against terms of service.
- GhotiFish 12y agoI don't remember some of the features being described here present in windows 95 video players... but OK. Though, your comment is a bit at odds with the article. it's about client side viewing, not server side processing.
- lukasm 12y agoI have to do server side processing to be able to view it on the client side
- GhotiFish 12y agowouldn't you have to do that with most of the older solutions as well? flv, mp4, quicktime, ect ect ect. These are not development formats. Well... actually I have seen quicktime being used in the effects industry from time to time, though you wouldn't actually serve quicktime videos with those settings.
- lukasm 12y agoNot really. Desktop players like VLC and play most stuff that you throw at it. Web solutions only supports webm well.
