    Would it be possible to convert flv files to mov using php? This would make something I want to do alot simpler, I've only ever converted image files in php though so I'm not 100% sure this can even be done.

    If not what alternatives are there to do this?

    Thanks

    I've never done it but the only way I know how to do it would be to call run the ffmpeg in your php script to do the conversion for you. Many hosts have this installed so it's not too much of a trouble. The exact command you need to use can be difficult. see http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-doc.html For more info.

    Check out FFmpeg-PHP which is a extension for PHP that allows easy integration between PHP and FFmpeg. I'm pretty sure this can be done fairly easily.

    It should be easy if you run your own host. If you lease it, you have to make sure that you can execute FFMPEG commands on your leased host.

    That's the most blatant spam post I've ever seen! You've linked the same url 4 times and then twice in your signature :rolleyes:

    I need to do it with php as I have 17,000 videos to convert..

    Well I'm limited to php because the files are hosted on a server and it would take months to download and upload 500GB on my connection.
