A bunch of us have begun working on a new codebase for Indymedia, based on CakePHP. I’m not exactly Captain PHP, so there’s going to be a bit of a learning curve for me, but we’ll see how it goes.
One of the things I am interested in setting up is some kind of FLV video conversion system for the new CMS. There’s a nice pleasant-looking PHP library to deal with the FFmpeg video conversion utility on the server side (is anybody in the Rails world noticing this?), so here’s my experience installing it on Ubuntu.
