TOPIC: FLV Conversion on the fly

FLV Conversion on the fly 3 years, 10 months ago #8527

Hi. First of all I want to congratulate to all developers involved with this project for doing such a great work.

Right now Expose gallery requires video files to be encoded in flv format in order to be available to play them. But FFMPEG is able to convert a great variety of video file formats into FLV. My question is if it's possible to encode a video uploaded by the user into FLV at the time of the uploading, of course, dynamically using ffmpeg. If such, it would be awesome to use that feature into Expose Flash Gallery in order to play almost any video file format.

Seems a nice addon, but it doesn't seem to use php, asp, ... coding to make it run on a webserver.
Trial and error, but first a backup!

I'm not sure it works but, I know there is a PHP mod for C's system() function, that would, under proper permissions invoke the ffmpeg program and generate the FLV. However, the ideal thing would be to find a PHP extension to use, using ffmpeg's libraries, or to write a CGI that does the work for us.

Hum
I'll try to fix the other issues first, before digging into this (for me) new issue.
