flash - Looking to build a video serving web application -


i want build application allow user upload movie file, allow user give information movie (like synopsis, title, etc.) or can watch server @ later time. youtube clone, intents , purposes.

i'm running problem, however, serving movie watched. want user able watch movie on variety of different platforms, including on web in of common browsers, on ios devices , on android devices (as googletv in future).

i had planned on having user upload whatever file formats want, store file, transcode on fly using ffmpeg (or similar) serve whichever device requesting it. handy, because i'd able transcode smaller size if needed to save on bandwidth. unfortunately, i'm having tough time finding method display movie in web browser.

i've tried vlc death. i'm able stream video on demand on rtsp, (as understand it), both html5 video tag , flash won't accept rtsp stream. haven't had luck finding method of streaming on-the-fly transcoded video on http, looks limit options embedding either windows media player or quicktime. ffserver ffmpeg has same problem; can create rtsp stream, not http stream.

so, have ideas how can go transcoding video on demand , have stream web browser contains either html5 or flash?

thanks!

why want transcode on-the-fly? think able transcode enough? think movie in hd format... also, there different protocols of requesting stream, meaning protocol request middle or end chunks of data.

if you, save video file in different formats , serve user appropriate one. don't think storage space should constraint video serving platform.
