Re-encoding video media on upload #1478

Closed willisplummer closed 1 year ago

willisplummer commented 1 year ago

I've been trying to understand the documentation around Media_processing.conf but it's not clear to me. Is it possible to use the SET media_transformation_rules to have ffmpeg reencode mvk videos as mp4 at upload? If not, is there anything like this available through CollectiveAccess? I've noticed that Pawtucket is able to playback videos uploaded as mkv, so I'm guessing at some point a re-encode takes place? If I want access to mp4 video via the API, is my best bet to process it myself on an external server?

Thanks!

Edit: digging around I was able to find this config which cleared up how it works for me -- would be great if the docs linked to an example
