Hi,

I need to either:

1) Upload one file and submit multiple jobs to Zencoder, with several different output formats, or
2) Have multiple fields for different formats, which submit different parameters (per field) to Zencoder, or
3) have Video settings per upload

The reason is I need to create several different formats for HTML5 tag support across browsers and Flash fallback. I imagine this is a common need. 3) is least perferred, as 1) and 2) are more automated.

Is any of this currently possible? There seems to be only one "Video extension" setting for the entire module, and it doesn't work with multiple values with Zencoder. (instead of multiple files you get a file named "myvideo.mp4 webm ogg".)

Actually a combination of all 3 would be the best

1. One upload
2. Multiple file types per upload possible,
3. 1 field per uploaded file.
4. settings per 'type'
5. Rules per field, we need to have 1 default field, but also rules to be able to set conditions to display another field

for example, user points, user role, browser type

This way we would also be able to set a preview video (ffmpeg capped at x minutes) for a certain user role, and set a full video field for another user role.

However, it seems to me it would be a pretty big effort considering everything is build on one file.

Thanks for the ideas, we are working on HTML5 video support and soon to be released.

As a temporary workaround, [deleted because it contained a bug that caused duplicate jobs (and wasted nickels).]

You might not already know Zencoder support for multiple conversion in one glance. Your work around is good, cause it will work with video module current archetecture and I'm working on the real multiple video conversion so, soon to be release with HTML5.

Today i committed some code for multiple video transcoding with Zencoder, the trick I used is create some presets and use them for conversion, its just like having Flash HQ preset, Flash LQ, Mobile etc.

Hope your guys would love that way that I used, Now I'm trying to have upgrade script for new version, I changed database a bit.

I dropped ffmpeg_wrapper since we cannot have it working with presets and its just duplication existing ffmepeg.

We have completed the HTML5 support for the video module with Zencoder, its under active development for supporting it for FFMPEG

You can checkout the latest code form the dev CVS

Do you have any samples / tutorials / documentation on how to get an HTML 5 test going? I've played with it a little but I'm not getting anywhere.

@jwbuzz you can grab the latest copy of the video module form the CVS and enable the Zencoder and select HTML5 presets. Then you can see how its working.
