Zend Framework: Zend_Video (subclasses) Component Proposal

Proposed Component Name Zend_Video (subclasses)
Developer Notes http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Zend_Video (subclasses)
Proposers Steven Brown
Zend Liaison TBD
Revision 1.0 - 16 August 2009: Initial Draft. (wiki revision: 6)

Table of Contents

1. Overview

Zend_Video will provide an object-oriented front end to common video manipulation command line applications such as FLVTool, FFmpeg, MPlayer and MEncoder.

2. References

3. Component Requirements, Constraints, and Acceptance Criteria

  • This component will provide OO access to command line applications

4. Dependencies on Other Framework Components

  • Zend_Exception

5. Theory of Operation

The component accepts manipulation of properties to construct commands that are then run through shell_exec().

6. Milestones / Tasks

  • Milestone 1: Design notes will be published here
  • Milestone 2: Working prototype checked into the incubator supporting use cases
  • Milestone 3: Unit tests exist, work, and are checked into SVN.
  • Milestone 4: Initial documentation exists.

7. Class Index

  • Zend_Video_Ffmpeg
  • Zend_Video_FlvTool
  • Zend_Video_Mencoder
  • Zend_Video_Mplayer

8. Use Cases

UC-01

... (see good use cases book)

9. Class Skeletons

I'm tossing up whether to use direct property access or method access to set options.

    While this component would make a whole bunch of people's life a lot easier, I guess its dependence on third party tools will prevent it from appearing in the standard ZF?
    What is most important: (extremely) high demand or dependability?

      You're right, maybe it could be a ZendX component?

        Don't look at me. I don't know much about the approval process.
        In my humble opinion: inclusion in the standard would be awesome since so many developers would benefit from this.
        Is there any chance this can be done without third-party-tools? As a starter: conversion of any format to FLV.

          While PHP has the ability to work with data in a way that such a tool could be created, it's far beyond my ability. Additionally PHP is way too slow to be used for video encoding.
