video 6.x-4.8

Important change in 4.8

The Zencoder and Amazon S3 libraries have been removed from the module sources and must be downloaded separately. Also, the Libraries API is now a required module for the Video Zencoder and Video Amazon S3 modules. Read the INSTALL.md file for installation instructions.

General remarks

When you intend to use FFmpeg to transcode videos, make sure your FFmpeg installation handles all the file formats before installing the module. Linux distributions using precompiled binaries, such as Ubuntu, usually do not provide the best compile options and it is advised to compile FFmpeg yourself.

The following guides will help you to get a good FFmpeg installation:

• Ubuntu: FFmpeg compilation guide
• Ubuntu: guide to enhance your FFmpeg installation using precompiled packages
• Gentoo: make sure to setup the right USE flags before installing
• Windows: Windows packages
