Le plugin : Podcasts.
14 juillet 2010, parLe problème du podcasting est à nouveau un problème révélateur de la normalisation des transports de données sur Internet.
Deux formats intéressants existent : Celui développé par Apple, très axé sur l’utilisation d’iTunes dont la SPEC est ici ; Le format "Media RSS Module" qui est plus "libre" notamment soutenu par Yahoo et le logiciel Miro ;
Types de fichiers supportés dans les flux
Le format d’Apple n’autorise que les formats suivants dans ses flux : .mp3 audio/mpeg .m4a audio/x-m4a .mp4 (...) -

Récupération d’informations sur le site maître à l’installation d’une instance
26 novembre 2010, parUtilité
Sur le site principal, une instance de mutualisation est définie par plusieurs choses : Les données dans la table spip_mutus ; Son logo ; Son auteur principal (id_admin dans la table spip_mutus correspondant à un id_auteur de la table spip_auteurs)qui sera le seul à pouvoir créer définitivement l’instance de mutualisation ;
Il peut donc être tout à fait judicieux de vouloir récupérer certaines de ces informations afin de compléter l’installation d’une instance pour, par exemple : récupérer le (...)

Demo of WebM Running on TI OMAP 4 Processor
15 octobre 2010, par noreply@blogger.com (John Luther)Texas Instruments has made a video of HD-resolution (1080p) VP8 (WebM) video playing on their new TI OMAP™ 4 processor, in both Android and Ubuntu.
(If you have a WebM-enabled browser and are enrolled in the YouTube HTML5 beta the video will play in WebM HTML5, otherwise it will play in Flash Player.)
For more info about the OMAP 4 and the IVA 3 video accelerator that enables low-power HD playback of VP8 on the chip, see the TI web site.

Google’s YouTube Uses FFmpeg
9 février 2011, par Multimedia Mike — GeneralControversy arose last week when Google accused Microsoft of stealing search engine results for their Bing search engine. It was a pretty novel sting operation and Google did a good job of visually illustrating their side of the story on their official blog.
This reminds me of the fact that Google’s YouTube video hosting site uses FFmpeg for converting videos. Not that this is in the same league as the search engine shenanigans (it’s perfectly legit to use FFmpeg in this capacity, but to my knowledge, Google/YouTube has never confirmed FFmpeg usage), but I thought I would revisit this item and illustrate it with screenshots. This is not new information— I first empirically tested this fact 4 years ago. However, a lot of people wonder how exactly I can identify FFmpeg on the backend when I claim that I’ve written code that helps power YouTube.
Short Answer
How do I know YouTube uses FFmpeg to convert multimedia ? Because :- FFmpeg can decode a number of impossibly obscure multimedia formats using code I wrote
- YouTube can transcode many of the same formats
- I screwed up when I wrote the code to support some of these weird formats
- My mistakes are still present when YouTube transcodes certain fringe formats
Longer Answer (With Pictures !)
Let’s take a video format named RoQ, developed by noted game designer Graeme Devine. Originated for use in the FMV-heavy game The 11th Hour, the format eventually found its way into the Quake 3 engine as well as many games derived from the same technology.Dr. Tim Ferguson reverse engineered the format (though it would later be open sourced along with the rest of the Q3 engine). I wrote a RoQ playback system for FFmpeg, and I messed up in doing so. I believe my coding error helps demonstrate the case I’m trying to make here.
Observe what happened when I pushed the jk02.roq sample through YouTube in my original experiment 4 years ago :
Do you see how the canyon walls bleed into the sky ? That’s not supposed to happen. FFmpeg doesn’t do that anymore but I was able to go back into the source code history to find when it did do that :
Academic Answer
FFmpeg fixed this bug in June of 2007 (thanks to Eric Lasota). The problem had to do with premature colorspace conversion in my original decoder.Leftovers
I tried uploading the video again to see if the problem persists in YouTube’s transcoder. First bit of trivia : YouTube detects when you have uploaded the same video twice and rejects the subsequent attempts. So I created a double concatenation of the video and uploaded it. The problem is gone, illustrating that the backend is actually using a newer version of FFmpeg. This surprises me for somewhat esoteric reasons.Here’s another interesting bit of trivia for those who don’t do a lot of YouTube uploading— YouTube reports format details when you upload a video :
So, yep, RoQ format. And you can wager that this will prompt me to go back through the litany of unusual formats that FFmpeg supports to see how YouTube responds.

Can I use ffmpeg to create multi-bitrate (MBR) MPEG-4 videos ?
5 décembre 2011, par hoangbv15I am currently in a webcam streaming server project that requires the function of dynamically adjusting the stream's bitrate according to the client's settings (screen sizes, processing power...) or the network bandwidth. The encoder is ffmpeg, since it's free and open sourced, and the codec is MPEG-4 part 2. We use live555 for the server part.
How can I encode MBR MPEG-4 videos using ffmpeg to achieve this ?
