MediaMosa

MediaMosa is a robust, flexible and highly scalable media management platform. It is already helping deliver rich content to educational organisations across the Netherlands.

MediaMosa is software to build a Full Featured, Webservice Oriented Media Management and Distribution platform.

With MediaMosa you can build a state-of-the-art, scalable Middleware Media Distribution Platform which facilitates access to, and usage of (shared) storage capacity, metadata databases, transcoding- and streaming servers.

• Delivery platform for audio, video (and in fact any other content)
• Streaming of any format (e.g. Flash, H.264 MPEG-4 and WindowsMedia)
• Transcoding based on FFmpeg
• Flexible Metadata Element Sets
• Access management functions on Media
• Enhanced Still functions
• Open Source under GPLv2 license

MediaMosa is a free and open software package developed by Madcap. It is based on the Drupal CMS and supports the use of several other Open Source software such as FFmpeg
