FFLIB.NET

    I've been messing around with video conversion lately, I'm hoping to build a windows service that reads the contents of a directory and transcodes the video it finds there into h.264 mp4 aac at a certain time. At first I was looking at FFMpeg and doing it with a bat file and windows scheduler but I think I've found a better way of doing it. FFLIB.NET is a C# wrapper around the FFMPEG .dll's which should be able to provide decent video trans coding in a language I'm much more familiar with. Bat files are nice and all but doing it in a .Net service should be much more comprehensive and provide better deployment, control, and automation.

    The code samples on Intuiitive's website look pretty simple, though I'm not sure yet if I can control bit rate and that sort of thing because it's made for a youtube style site with a php front end but we'll see.

    I know I've been promising some code here but life has been keeping me busy but stay tuned and I'll have some prototype stuff up soon.

    If you’re looking for something to read I highly recommend this book:
