Add the ability to stream a video by turning sinthgunt into a stream server
(via ffserver). Then you would be harnessing the true power of ffmpeg!! :)

This is a excellent idea. I guess it will take some time to compile a xml
file with the various settings combinations for video formats, but once it
is done it would be great.

Thank you for contributing with that idea, Tom.

Perhaps you could tell us exactly what usage scenario you had in mind. Do
you, say, want to stream to mobile devices? What video/audio formats would
you like to be able to use?

I have never worked with ffserver before, so perhaps you could share a
simple howto with us. The best one I could find was
http://www.organicdesign.co.nz/Simple_video_streaming_with_ffserver, but
that has ffserver
running in daemon mode, which I guess is not what we want.

Best regards,
Kaare

mobile use would be the main one, but also streaming h.264 as mpeg2 for
clients which don't support h.264 etc...

I wouldn't be a good person to do a "how to" on ffserver, as I have
actually never got it working well!!

This is probably why I saw your project and thought "nice ui wrapper for
ffmpeg, shame it doesn't do ffserver" :P
