    Hi,

    I need to convert a user's upload to a .swf, basically what you tube does. From reading different things on the internet i understand that this cannot be done with just php something has to be done on the server side? But don't know exactly how to go about this?

    Cheers,
    Adam

    I want to share E.M. Total Video Converter. I have been using it and I think it is the best one on the market.

    you can use following commands to convert other video format to FLV :

    ffmpeg -i video.avi -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320×240 video.flv
    Where :
    -i input file name
    -ar audio sampling rate in Hz
    -ab audio bit rate in kbit/s
    -f output format
    -s output dimension

    Hope this would help you :)

    It's useless for the poster, who wants automated conversion performed on the web server.

    gibbs_h's answer is the correct one, and it is also free.

    You can also try mencoder, it is more advanced than ffmpeg.

    If you are doing it with PHP, get FFMPEG-PHP
