Building a Video Sharing Website (with Node.js, Docker and FFMPEG)

There are a lot of things that go into creating an online video sharing platform, but in this video I'll go over the most important part: transcoding video. FFMPEG is a powerful open-source program that makes video transcoding fairly easy.

i liked and subscribed. i think this is the first time i have done so when someone said that. this video was that helpful and clear.

[@petecollison737]

Great explanation. Thanks.

[@n-0-1]

great video man, thanks.

[@moccomocco]

Awesome. I was facing this same issue. The only better thing here is if you can show how you put this on a cloud platform.

[@snehvachhanivlogs]

Great video ...

[@jiachen1078]

thanks for sharing. have you tried to add chapters to the video with map_metadata?

[@jorgezozaya5049]

Hey, hey, hey! great content here. Would it be possible to process just the blob without writing the video to the file system? thanks!

[@Bahmanasheghii]

great, btw did you know that ffmpeg can be used in the browser via wasm?
I made a real time encoder/video player in the browser!

[@codewithryan]

That’s awesome. I want to try that for one of my recent projects that uses ffmpeg

[@hugo-abdou]

[@razac_zr]

[@muhammedladeed2280]

[@realdevdiv]

Is there a way to transcode without uploading it locally, like S3

[@developerAKX]

Do find any thing like I am working on project and trying to find a way to directly store it on s3 or r2

[@mehulsharma6002]

can you share the source code?

[@n-0-1]

Hey, do you know if there is a way to prevent a video that has already been compressed from being compressed again and increasing in size?

[@IncomingLegend]

you could do some simple checks like if the video is in your desired resolution, if its under a desired file size, if its in your desired extension etc.
