I need a way to play relatively large avi files (1+ GB) on the Internet with their subtitles, I searched a lot for this, the only thing I came up with was the usual embedding without controls, and this requires a specific browser or application to display the controls or even play.
I have a large number of files (12 TB), so converting these files to mp4 will require age, not to mention the need to skip audio or video quality.
Is there a way that allows me to play these online games with their subtitles, or do I need to convert them to MP4? I tried to convert the file to MP4 and it did not play, apparently it fell within the browser or something like that (I tried to play it using flowplayer).
I considered a solution like red5, but as I found out, it does not support avi.
I used this command to convert mp4
ffmpeg -y -i $file.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -copyts -f mp4 $file.mp4
It takes quite a while to convert if you have the best team or solution that will work to play avis without conversion. Please be my guest.
