Mod Flv Streaming Server Installation

[Blain]

Thanks for the info.

Can you list a few numbered reasons why this is an improvement on the current setup, as opposed to the default settings?

I dont really know much on improvement but some says it does save badwidth by streaming directly from server and you dont have to download to pc (like normal apache streaming)

I have test this on a large video file up to 200mb flv (quite hq) and the result is much more better than normal apache server. But there is only 1 thing which is buggin me right now.

I wonder if mencoder caused some video unable to be skipped (seek bar). Seems like the main is nothing related to streaming server but more on how the video is converted. Perhaps the command line to convert video need to be improved?

It can save bandwidth if visitor need to view some part of the video, he can skip to that part and view it. Also mod_secdownload will take video link expire after time set by you. So even if some one got the FLV download link, it will expire after some time.

Could you give me a ffmpeg command line that match the quality for default mencoder command line?

Also can mencoder use multi threads for flv conversion? I have 8 core xeon nahelem but conversion only use 1 cpu core. I try with command threads=4 but it wont convert. Please enlighten me regarding this.

If you ask in ffmpeg or mplayer mailing list, you may get answers from experts.
