• EC2 for video-encoding

  24 septembre 2012, par TK Kocheran

  I have a potential job which will require me to do some video encoding with FFMPEG and x264. I'll have a series of files which I'll need to encode once, then I'll be able to bring down the instances. Since I'm not really sure of the resource utilization of x264 and FFMPEG, what kind of instances should I get ? I'm thinking either a

  High-CPU Extra Large Instance

  7 GB of memory
  20 EC2 Compute Units (8 virtual cores with 2.5 EC2 Compute Units each)
  1690 GB of instance storage
  64-bit platform
  I/O Performance : High
  API name : c1.xlarge

  or, alternatively a

  Cluster GPU Quadruple Extra Large Instance

  22 GB of memory
  33.5 EC2 Compute Units (2 x Intel Xeon X5570, quad-core “Nehalem” architecture)
  2 x NVIDIA Tesla “Fermi” M2050 GPUs
  1690 GB of instance storage
  64-bit platform
  I/O Performance : Very High (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
  API name : cg1.4xlarge

  What should I use ? Does x264/FFMPEG perform better with faster/more CPUs or does it really pound the GPU more ? In any case, it seems that the Cluster GPU seems to be the higher performance instance. What should I prefer ?

• how to run and install phpize

  11 juin 2013, par Hrishikesh Choudhari

  I have been meaning to install ffmpeg as an extension to my php setup. So before I can install it, I need to phpize it. I installed php5-dev by sudo apt-get install php5-dev But now when I run phpize I get the following error :

  phpize
  
  Cannot find config.m4. 
  
  Make sure that you run '/usr/bin/phpize' in the top level source directory of the module

  The location of my php.ini is /usr/local/zend/etc/php.ini

  From another online resource i tried this

  sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool m4

  But all of them are already installed.

  Locate config.m4 didnt return anything.

  Any pointers here how I can get phpize and thus, ffmpeg up and running ?

• Store converted video in a buffer to transfer to S3

  24 mai 2012, par Chris

  I have a system set up to upload an image, take that temporarily uploaded file, convert it to a resized jpeg, read the buffer of that conversion and send the buffer to amazon S3 for storage as an image. It works wonderfully because no permanent file is stored on the my server, everything is on S3.

  Now I am attempting to add this same functionality but with video. The process goes through, but the resulting files stored on Amazons S3 servers are 1.5kb a piece, instead of multimb videos.

  My code is as follows :

  public function transfer($method, $file, $bucketName, $filename, $contentType){
  
      switch($method){
  
          case 'file':
  
              if($this->s3->putObject($this->s3->inputFile($file, false), $bucketName, $filename, S3::ACL_PUBLIC_READ, array(), $contentType))
  
                  return true;
  
              else
  
                  return false;
  
              break;
  
          case 'string':
  
              if ($this->s3->putObject($file, $bucketName, $filename, S3::ACL_PUBLIC_READ, array(), $contentType))
  
                  return true;
  
              else
  
                  return false;
  
              break;
  
          case 'resource':
  
              if($this->s3->putObject($this->s3->inputResource(fopen($file, 'rb'), filesize($file)), $bucketName, $filename, S3::ACL_PUBLIC_READ, array(), $contentType))
  
                  return true;
  
              else
  
                  return false;
  
              break;
  
      }
  
      return false;
  
  }   
  
  
  
  
  
  /**
  
  *   AmazonS3Handler - convert()
  
  */
  
  
  
  public function convert($file, $type)
  
  {
  
           $ffmpeg = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg";
  
      $cmd['webm'] = $ffmpeg. " -i ". $file ." -vcodec libvpx -acodec libvorbis -ac 2 -f webm -g 30 2>&1";
  
      $cmd['ogv'] = $ffmpeg. " -i ". $file ." -vcodec libtheora -acodec libvorbis -ac 2 2>&1";
  
      $cmd['mp4'] = $ffmpeg. " -i ". $file ." -vcodec libx264 -acodec libfaac -ac 2 2>&1";
  
      $cmd['jpg'] = $ffmpeg. " -i ". $file ." -vframes 30";
  
  
  
      ob_start();
  
      passthru($cmd[$type]);
  
      $fileContents = ob_get_contents();
  
      ob_end_clean();
  
      return $fileContents;
  
  }

  From my understanding, passthru should return raw output which could be picked up by the output buffer.

  Am I doing something wrong ? Is there a better way to convert a video on my servers but keep the data on S3 ?

  Thanks !

  EDIT : I've boiled it down to the executing of the command. FFMPEG wasn't being located, so I changed the path to "/usr/bin/ffmpeg", no more error 127, now when I run exec() (not passthru) I get error 1

  EDIT2 : Here is the output of running the script :

  It looks like the permissions aren't set right, however the file has chmod 777 permissions. What other permissions need to get changed ?
