[FR] Queue transcoding

[riasvdv]

Is it possible to queue the transcoding of video's? If we currently upload more than 1 video the ffmpeg process gets killed because the server runs out of memory.

mmmmmmm. So it shouldn't actually do the transcoding until the video is referenced. I think potentially it could check to see if an ffmpeg process is already running, and if so, don't try to start a new transcoder.

That means you'll be waiting as they are done in sequence, tho

To clarify the use case:

I need certain video sizes to be available before they're referenced, and even then, multiple video's will be referenced at the same time from a single page.

In a module I'm generating the necessary video's when a video is uploaded or saved, this causes multiple ffmpeg processes to be started but the server is killing off some because it uses too much memory at the same time.
