Need information before I commit to this plugin #19

@khalwat, before I move forward with this plugin I just need to check off a few boxes regarding functionality. I read through the documentation, but I may not completely understand the plugin (I apologize in advance for stupid questions):

  1. Can I use this plugin to convert an uploaded mp4 to my other HTML5 video fallbacks -- webm and ogg? If yes, can the other formats be converted all at once with a single mp4 upload?
  2. My videos are currently uploaded and stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. If I upload an mp4, can the conversions be stored in the same S3 bucket?

The bottom line is that I need a convenient way to get those HTML5 video fallbacks. For my clients, I'd like to avoid hosting with YT or Vimeo and instead host videos on S3. I want to make it easy for clients to upload a single video knowing that it will function across various browsers.

  1. Yes, you'd just create multiple calls to convert to the formats you want
  2. Not currently; it can read from an S3 or other source, but it currently writes the videos locally, and does not have support for automatic uploading to an S3 bucket

Support for uploading to a Storage Bucket would be awesome.

Feel free to file a FR!

@khalwat Would it be ok if I would rewrite the entire plugin so that the assets are only stored in volumes?

khalwat commented 5 years ago

You're welcome to do that if you like. You're thinking about abstracting it away to use Craft's volumes @internetztube ?

Yea. Check out my Pull Request. @khalwat
