Projects page contains information about some of the 'bigger scale' applications I've created.
While the following applications can be used individually, however they were designed as separate modules to accomplish one giant purpose - automate mass media transcoding.
Please note the following clips contain dummy data and are brief demonstrations only.
The following is the workflow in the automation process:
- Productivity Portal -> Create and manage video jobs/orders in a database
- Video Capture -> Record the video files to local disk
- File Crawler -> Index the newly created files in a database
- DTGI Server -> Assigns encoding jobs to connected clients
- DTGI Client -> Receive encoding jobs from server, fetch files from crawler and call Innovations
- Innovations -> Transcode media files
This system is designed to be used in fascilities where there are massive amounts of files being being processed. While minimum human interaction is required at the beginning, everything after video capturing stage is fully autonomous.
Video Capture program is designed to display/write new video files from incoming video streams coming through hardware (e.g. a video camera connected to IEEE 1394 card).
- Record Video To Hard Disk
- Ability to auto-stop recording upon blue frame detection
- Language: C++ using Win32 and COM APIs
An application that crawls for files recursively starting from defined root path and outputs them as a line item in a text file. It also supports pushing data directly to a database.
- List Files Starting From Defined Path (recursive)
- Output To Text File
- Can Push Data To Database
- Language: Java
This application is designed to automate media transcoding jobs in a mass media-processing environment. It connects to a database that stores required encoding jobs and then passes these tasks to connected client applications where the job gets processed.
- Communicating With Live Production Database To Fetch Encoding Jobs
- Assign Found Jobs To Client Applications
- Parse Status Reports From Client Applications
- Event Logging
- Language: .NET
This application is designed to automate media transcoding jobs in a mass media-processing environment. It connects to a job-server where media encoding jobs will be passed down the line. Once a request is received, it locates the required media files from a database, fetches the files over to local storage and then calls my "Innovations" program to process the file.
- Receive Encoding Jobs From Server Application
- Communicating With Crawler Database To Locate Files
- Automatically Copy/Move Files Over To Local Disk
- Automatically Transcodes Media
- Send Status Reports To Server
- Language: .NET
Innovations is a program that transcodes given media files from one format to another (for example DV-avi to H264-mp4), similar to handbrake. This application is a powerful Graphical User Interface extension to ffmpeg, which is the actual encoding engine. The program is extremely easy to use and comes with pre-defined ffmpeg transcoding presets.
- Media Transcoding Application
- Dynamic List Queue
- Ability To Create/Customize Encoding Presets
- Ability To Combine Clips To A Single File (stitching)
- Supports Command Line Arguments
- Event Logging
- Language: .NET
Small business operating software solution. Easy to use interface for a database that contains various client and business data.
- Client Side Database Interface
- Push/Pull/Delete Data
- Language: .NET
