How to upload video to the server once and encode high quality, low quality and mobile

Question

I would like to download high quality (hd) video and automatically display it in lower quality (for slower connections) and mobile quality.

I am currently configured on Drupal using a Sublime Video HTML5 player that works well. What I don't want to do is encode each video 3 times and upload them separately.

I am open to any solution that would solve the download problem once, coding many times. If this does not exist, can you give an idea of ​​what is required for this to happen on the server side?

An example on the Internet is when you upload a video to YouTube. He takes care of the coding for each device, and I would like to emulate this.

Thanks, advanced! Corey

I am not sure about the real implementation library that handles this, but you will need to process the encoding in the background, otherwise you will link the web response (and future answers on the Internet) until the whole encoding is finished.

Remember this when you study solutions :)
