We have a Worker role on Windows Azure that runs ffmpeg to convert media files using MediaHandler Pro. The files that we like to process is saved on a blob storage and the resulting files should also be stored there.
Our problem is that ffmpeg works on local files and not on URIs from the blob storage. Is there any way to mount a blob storage container and access the files there directly as a file system?
If this is not possible is it ok to download the files (they can be quite large, perhaps 1-2Gb) to the local file system*, process them there and then upload them. This sounds like redundant.
*) We have set up a CloudDrive that downloads this blob to a virtual disc
