How to use ffmpeg

How to user ffmpeg

You can use ffmpeg to convert video file like mpeg, avi to flv like you tube.
I Php this is very just check in your server that ffmpeg is enable or not if this is not enable dont hesitate to tell your sever provider or
your client to enable that you are ready to use that.

To check whether ffmpeg is enable just user in the a test file if ffmpeg is there then that shows it is enable.


just use
exec("/usr/bin/ffmpeg -y -i test.mpeg -s 446x336 -ar 44100 -ab 12 test.flv") to make flv

and

exect("usr/bin/ffmpeg -i test.mpeg -an -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:00:01 -r 1 -y -s 120x72 test.jpg");

to make thumbnail of that video


After that to play flv just go to site
http://www.flowplayer.org/documentation/configuration.html

and read how to use flowplyer, download latest flowplayer from here and enjoy making youtube like feature.
