Process the file before uploading it


I got a form with SWFUpload. Files uploaded to the server are converted server-side (video being compressed, images being resized etc)

Question is - can i delegate some of the functionality to client-side (like image resizing), to save some bandwidth for user.


Solution

  • Video compression via Javascript would probably slow the browser so much that it wouldn't be bandwidth savings and if anything would probably annoy the end user.
