video_transcoder_project

Example

1. Start the Flask app (python app.py) and open http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in a browser.
2. The page shows a form to upload a raw video file.
3. Select a video (e.g. clip.avi) and submit the form.
4. The backend transcodes the video to the target format (e.g. 1080p MP4) using FFmpeg.
5. A download link for the transcoded file is shown on the page.
