Thanks a lot.

Install FFMPEG and running the ffmpeg -i test.avi -ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 500 -r 15 -s 320x240 test.flv command using the shell_exec function in PHP.

// Source file (uploaded file using http upload)
 $src = $_FILES['video']['tmp_name'];
 
 // Destination FLV
 $dest = '/path/to/your/videos/myvideo.flv';
 
 // Command to encode movie to flash video
 // use escapeshellcmd to make the command safe
 $command = escapeshellcmd('ffmpeg -i ' . $src . ' -ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 500 -r 15 -s 320x240 ' . $dest);
 
 // Execute the command
 shell_exec($command);

Here is my code,

PHP Code:

<?php
function makeMultipleTwo ($value){
$sType = gettype($value/2);
if($sType == "integer"){
return $value;
} else {
return ($value-1);
}
}

$srcFile = "kabhi-alvida.avi";
$destFile = ".flvs/kabhi-alvida.flv";
$ffmpegPath = "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg";
$flvtool2Path = "/usr/local/bin/flvtool2";


$ffmpegObj = new ffmpeg_movie($srcFile);


$srcWidth = makeMultipleTwo($ffmpegObj->getFrameWidth());
$srcHeight = makeMultipleTwo($ffmpegObj->getFrameHeight());
$srcFPS = $ffmpegObj->getFrameRate();
$srcAB = intval($ffmpegObj->getAudioBitRate()/1000);
$srcAR = $ffmpegObj->getAudioSampleRate();


$command = $ffmpegPath . " -i " . $srcFile . " -ar " . $srcAR . " -ab " . $srcAB . " -f flv -s " . $srcWidth . "x" . $srcHeight . " " . $destFile . " | " . $flvtool2Path . " -U stdin " . $destFile;
$convert = exec($command);



if(!$convert){
