GB_001 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hello, I was wondering if there is an alternative to FFmpeg since I do not have shell access to my shared free hosting account. Thankyou. -GB. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/120260-alternative-to-ffmpeg/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I very much doubt that there will be an alternative installed as default on your server... Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/120260-alternative-to-ffmpeg/#findComment-619551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 You don't need shell access. Â You just need the user under which Apache is running to have execute permissions on ffmpeg. Â Â So, technically I guess you might need shell access unless you can find a binary or compile it locally.

corbin Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Errr... It's a free hosting account. The product equals the price ;p.  You could try compiling ffmpeg your self (if there's not a prereleased binary for the distro) and then using that.
