Panda is an open source solution that handles uploading, encoding & streaming videos.
All the process is completed via an elegant REST API.
Panda is designed to run in the cloud using Amazon’s array of web services.
The application runs on a customised EC2 instance with everything pre-installed, including FFmpeg and an plethora of codecs.
SimpleDB is used to store all of data for video, encoding, accounts and encoding profiles. Uploaded and encoded video files are then stored on S3.
Other features of Panda:
- Everything contained within one elegant Merb application.
- Support for FLV, h264 for Flash, iPhone formats & more.
- Panda gem for painless integration with Ruby on Rails and Merb.
- Lovely little admin dashboard for managing your videos.
By default, Panda uses the JW FLV player but you can switch to any other video player easily.
