How It Works
After installing Web Video Machine on your server, your website is ready to accept videos uploaded by users and start converting the media to Flash.
1 |
Users upload videos to your website .mpg, .mov, .wmv, .avi, etc |
2 |
The Machine converts the files. It handles queuing, encoding, errors, everything |
3 |
Final Flash videos ready to play and show to your visitors |
1 - Users upload videos to your website .mpg, .mov, .wmv, .avi, etc
Your users may upload a video or you simply copy a video to a watch folder. Web Video Machine accepts all kinds of media: video, audio and images.
2 - The Machine converts the files. It handles queuing, encoding, errors, everything
Web Video Machine is constantly monitoring a set of folders for new content and when it finds something new it starts working: it transcodes to the desired format(s), optionally placing a logo for watermarking and creating thumbnails.
3 - Final Flash videos ready to play and show to your visitors
When the Machine finishes encoding a video, it will automatically send it to your preferred location. It will optionally call a URL or any other task you ask it to do. Similarly, if an error happens, it will warn you and perform any task you ask it to do.
See the Machine in Action - Run it on Amazon EC2
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.
Using Amazon EC2 is the perfect method to try out Web Video Machine without going through the hassle of installing and configuring it yourself - just launch a virtual machine fully configured and ready to run!
