Description: =========================
        stxnext.transform.avi2flv
        =========================
        
        Overview
        ========
        
        Converts clips from AVI format to FLV during upload to `Plone`_.
        
        It is fairly easy to turn on conversion from other video formats - more information in section "Configuration".
        
        
        Requirements
        ============
        
        This package uses FFmpeg. You need to install it in you system.
        
        On Ubuntu 9.04 you have to execute::
        
        sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-unstripped-52
        
        On CentOS 5.3 command is even simpler::
        
        sudo yum install ffmpeg
        
        On other linux system compile FFmpeg with flv and mp3 support.
        
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        If you are using zc.buildout to manage your project, you can do this:
        
        * Add ``stxnext.transform.avi2flv`` to the list of eggs to install, e.g.::
        
        [buildout]
        ...
        eggs =
        ...
        stxnext.transform.avi2flv
        
        * Re-run buildout, e.g. with::
        
        $ ./bin/buildout
        
        Finally go to 'Site Setup' -> 'Add/Remove Products' and install stxnext.transform.avi2flv.
        
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        AVI clips will be automatically converted, so no special attention by editor is needed.
        
        
        Configuration
        =============
        
        Options for FFmpeg that controls quality of output video can be configured via ZMI
        (portal_transforms -> avi_to_flv).
        
        With default configuration it will execute command similar to::
        
        ffmpeg -i "input.avi" -y -b 1024k -r 25 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 44100 'output.flv'
        
        Description of these options and more control parameters you can find in `FFmpeg manual`_.
        
        To turn on conversion from other video formats than "avi", you need to add more mimetypes into "Input" property of avi_to_flv transformation.
        
        We made simple tests with formats:
        
        * video/x-ms-wmv
        * video/mpeg
        * video/quicktime
