FFMPEG

I need ffmpeg.exe installed on my server. How can this be achieved ?
Thanks

 

I meant on the server(s) you provide, but I already understood this is not possible

 

Hi,
It wouldn't work out on a Shared host anyway, since it streams.
You'll need a Dedicated host for that.
Depending on what you want to do with it you might consider Silverlight Steaming.

Some of my DiscountASP.NET videos are using that service if you'd like to see how it works:

I'm actually interested in the transcoding abilites of FFMPEG, not in the streaming part...

 

Hi,
Youmight want tooffer a bit more info about what you need when you are looking for help.

I've seen transcoding done withFFmpeg on Linux servers but never on a shared Windows server.

i.e.

What you need can be done with Expression Encoder but not on the fly.

Thanks a lot for your advices,
I'm actually looking for hosting a youtube-like video site, and i need to enable users to upload videos in any format, and than encode them to flv. To do this, I need ffmpeg.exe installed on the server...
I understood that I either need a dedicated server (or virtual one) or use the Expression Encoder, which I haven't heard about till now...

 

Hi,
I'm on the Expression Encoder Customer Panel team and canoffertips if you need them.
All the best,
