I need to develop a rest API for publish and convert the videos
A major what I am facing, I need a free converter for convert any format video in OGV. Even though ffmpeg is the best candidate, but we I cannot use it because not is in official Fedora repository, just is in rpmfusion. I am developing a product that would be deployed on Fedora infra, they only deploy applications via packages into epel6.
Can you guys suggest something from official fedora repository ?

GStreamer will only work for patented formats after you install additional packages from RPMFusion. Ffmpeg is also only available from RPMFusion.
In the context of GSoC, in my opinion, your best bet is to drop the "video conversion from any format" feature. You can still make a converter for free formats, and I support Martin's suggestion of GStreamer. If you use GStreamer, adding support for patented formats is as easy as getting the packages from RPMFusion.
The reason is that, if it's ever permissible to include converters for patented media formats in Fedora, you would have to "reverse engineer" the format from scratch. I'm not sure reverse engineering a media format is possible, never mind for multiple formats, done by one person, during a GSoC project, when the project is mostly about building a website.
So ask your mentor whether the real deployment could use GStreamer packages from RPMFusion in addition to the GStreamer packages already in Fedora.
Best of luck! Christopher
Thanks for your response
I did post the question in the gsoc mailing list but unfortunately, wasn't able to get good feedback.
Also thanks for a detailed response I will discuss more about this with the projeect mentor. On 1 Mar 2014 01:42, "Christopher Antila" crantila@fedoraproject.org wrote:
