## Trasconde

Trascoding is performed using GStreamer framework. 

Videos are encoded using a pipeline with the following features:

* H.264/AVC as video codec

* AAC as audio codec

* MP4 as container

A custom GStreamer pipeline can be provided via file (A basic knowledge of GStreamer is required)

## Upload

Upload is allowed via:

* FTP (authenticated/anonymous)

* Amazon Web Services S3 (exinsting/new Bucket)

Credentials and several options can be provided via file

## TODO

* OO version

* GStreamer via gst-python lib

* GUI

* FTP TLS
