uploader for video files that compress it before sending to server

[MauMTS1000]

Hello,

Is possible to do an applet for compress video file before upload it into web server?

I must develop one website were user share video.
The user make video with go-pro camera, the size of file is about 1,5Gb
I want that the user choose in the applet the original file (1,5Gb), the applet compress it to 150Mb (reducing size) and only when the compression is finish the file will be uploaded on the server.

Do you think is possible?

GoPro has an .mp4 file format and is already compressed (h.264 compression).

You are not gonna get the file size down to ~1/10th. This isn't really a question of java.

I want to perform lossy compression of data, not lossless.
I would like to know if Java has some libraries for make an compression of data (with lossy).
I know that the video wil be bad than the original.

Sorry, but I want only to know the feasibility of my idea by one applet java.

Maybe, but there's nothing Applet-specific about compressing video.

Ok if it's lossy you want, then check out FFMPEG (it's not Java), a multimedia framework that can handle the format you want (MPEG-4).

There is a java port of FFMPEG (I haven't used it before, since FFMPEG is easy to use; it's a command line tool), JFFMPEG (Jffmpeg - Java Audio and Video Codecs for JMF) that has both native and java support for the format you want.

You should be able to find some examples on how to compress video files using JFFMPEG/FFMPEG, good luck!
