server based video edior

[aidanmack]

Hi,
Ive had a requested to create a program that will allow a user to upload two seprate bits of video and then for a program to glue them together to create one big video.

Its similar to some of the features on http://www.jumpcut.com/

Does anyone know of a server based back end program that will glue two videos together?

Thanks
Aidan

Hi Aiden,

Cool idea...

Do you mean that the video will actually become one file, or that it should play as if it's one file?

You might like to try virtualdub, which is an open source video editor which uses a command line interface.

You could send various parameters to it via your web app and it would output a file based on those parameters.

However - not sure how long it would take to join the two files and then produce one file - might be a long wait for the user?

HTH,
Dan
