spires Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 HI, I was wounder, how to go about solving this problem: I new to flash and php, I can use them both on there own, but have never merged the two together. I have built a video uploader (php, mysql) stored the file names in a database. The files upload as avi, mpeg and mov. As you know, the flash player only plays flv. So, i need a way to convert the files over, either during the upload or during the play back? How do youtube and myspace do it? Thanks for any help.

Hypnos Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Use a console based encoder to convert the files to flv. Use php to send the correct syntax to the console, and to read the errors/messages. Make sure to keep security in mind, because you are sending userdata to the console...FFmpeg would probably do the job.
