I always imagined that they just patch together a bunch of calls to mplayer and ffmpeg using a bit of shell script.. ;)

Maybe, but this won't do when you actually have to do algorithmic processing of the video (which I think Youtube does after all).

[javadyan → radarsat1]

and by "algorithmic processing" I mean detecting when the video contains a pirated song, for example.

I'm sure you could script that out to somone else... :oP
