Video uploading script with conversion to multiple file types?

[jbonnett]

Anyone know of a script that will allow you to upload a file and converts it to a specified file format?

 

Folder layout:

script/

script/videos/mp4/                                      }

script/videos/ogg/                                        }    folders for converted files from uploaded files

script/videos/webm/                                    }

script/videos/swf/                                        }

 

Video player:

<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
  <source src="script/videos/mp4/<? echo $movie; ?>.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
  <source src="script/videos/ogg/ <? echo $movie; ?> .ogg" type="video/ogg" />
  <source src="script/videos/webm/ <? echo $movie; ?> .webm" type="video/webm" />
<object data="script/videos/mp4/ <? echo $movie; ?> .mp4" width="320" height="240">
<embed src="script/videos/swf/ <? echo $movie; ?> .swf" width="320" height="240">
Your browser does not support video
</embed>
</object> 
</video>

 

I have searched and searched the web for an answer and cannot find one pleas help?

You'd need to use a command-line based tool. PHP has no ability to encode video.

FFMPEG

Keep in mind that doing this is pretty resource intensive. So if you are trying to encode multiple files at once you are going to hog a lot of resources. If you're on a shared host, they are going to get mad very quickly. For anything that has anywhere near decent traffic and lots of uploaded videos, you're going to need some serious resources to keep up with demand.

Post your code.

[jbonnett]

I deleted it because it did not work

Well why not try again and come back when you have a specific problem?

Heres a quick attempt

 

<?
$folderName = $_POST["album_name"];
$end = '/';


//Path to where the users are
$path = "video/";


//Complete path to new folder

$dir = $path . $folderName . $end;

if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "mp3")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "video/mp4")
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000000000))
  {
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
    {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
    }
  else
    {
    echo "Uploaded: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
    
    if (file_exists("$dir" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
      {
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
      }
    else
      {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "$dir" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      echo "Stored in: $folderName's User Folder";

      }
    }
  }
else
  {
  echo "Invalid file";
  }
// ffmpeg
// Set our source file
$file = $dir . $_FILES["file"]["name"];

$srcFile = $file;
$destFile = "/path/to/file.flv";
$ffmpegPath = "/path/to/ffmpeg";
$flvtool2Path = "/path/to/flvtool2";
// Create our FFMPEG-PHP class
$ffmpegObj = new ffmpeg_movie($srcFile);
// Save our needed variables
$srcWidth = makeMultipleTwo($ffmpegObj->getFrameWidth());
$srcHeight = makeMultipleTwo($ffmpegObj->getFrameHeight());
$srcFPS = $ffmpegObj->getFrameRate();
$srcAB = intval($ffmpegObj->getAudioBitRate()/1000);
$srcAR = $ffmpegObj->getAudioSampleRate();
// Call our convert using exec()
exec($ffmpegPath . " -i " . $srcFile . " -ar " . $srcAR . " -ab " . $srcAB . " -f flv -s " . $srcWidth . "x" . $srcHeight . " " . $destFile . " | " . $flvtool2Path . " -U stdin " . $destFile);
// Make multiples function
function makeMultipleTwo ($value)
{
$sType = gettype($value/2);
if($sType == "integer")
{
return $value;
} else {
return ($value-1);
}
}
?>

 

would i just repeat the FFMPEG process?
