    Hi
    I am currently building a video sharing website. I use ffmpeg, mencoder to do the encoding. It had been successfully installed on my dedicated server. I had try using SSH to perform the conversion and it has no problem.

    But when I use the exec() php function, it doesn't seems to work! I really don't know what is wrong. Can anyone please help?

    It seems like the path to call FFMPEG is wrong.
    Thanks

    /usr/bin/ffmpeg -i /home/USER/folder/test.mpg -ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 500 -r 15 -s 320x240 /home/USER/folder/test.flv

    Hi,

    To figure out the full path to ffmpeg, you can run this command from shell:
    which ffmpeg

    it is the correct path /usr/bin/ffmpeg, but why isn't the exec() function executed correctly. Do you have any idea?

    This is the result
