I worked with FFMPEG extensively about 2 years ago, and by far the best wrapper class I can recommend for use with FFMPEG is Yorsh's FFMPEG Wrapper Class. It is simply fantastic and will save you a lot of time! If you require any help with it, please just post a follow-up and I'll try my utmost to help you!

ok
i copy that code and save it in a file named ffmpegWrapperPHPclass.php that lives in the same directory as my index.php page.

the code in my index is

Code:

<?php  include("ffmpegWrapperPHPclass.php"); ?>

    <tr>
      <td>File Lookup </td>
      <td><input type="file" name="file" /></td>

To convert the files what I did was constructed a command to run through FFMPEG. Which was:

Code:

ffmpeg -i "/home/adam/domains/File.avi" -s 430x256 -b 7000k -aspect 16:9 -ar 44100 -r 30 -ac 1 "File.flv"

You then exec() that and that begins the conversion from AVI to FLV.

Thank you for all your help.

Ok i am having problems calling the functions inside the class.
I wonder if there is anything that i need installed on my server.

I know that i can upload a file and this is what i am doing

PHP Code:


			




function test(){

        $uploaddir     =     '_files/';

            $uploadfile =     $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['file']['name']);

            #$uploadfile =     $uploaddir . $_SESSION['UserID'] . date("YmdHis"). ".flv";  

            $filename     =    basename($_FILES['file']['name']);

            #$filename     =     $_SESSION['UserID'] . date("YmdHis"). ".flv";

            if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {

            #    echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";

            } else {

            #    echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";

            }

            #echo 'Here is some more debugging info:';

            #print_r($_FILES);

            #echo($uploadfile);

            YorshffmpegWrapper($$filename, $ffmpeg_path = "ffmpeg");

    }
