Uploaded videos get redundantly transcoded #24

Open lohqua opened 9 years ago

lohqua commented 9 years ago

If I have it set up to transcode whatever is uploaded to mp4 and the file uploaded is mp4, paperclip redundantly transcodes it wasting a lot of server resources.

This is video, it's never been easy 😊 more video, more resources will be used. You should use active job to transcode your videos in separate process of your web server

Ya know, if there was ANY documentation at all, things like this wouldn't be an issue. ActiveJob doesn't remove the fact that files are being redundantly transcoded.

It is since it is this gem behaving in a very inefficient manner.

If you're creating extra styles, then yes, transcoding is expected regardless of original file format. However, if you want to only save a transcoded file, so you use the :original style, and the format is the same, it should definitely be a no-op!
