I want to upload an AVI file and convert it in FLV on the server, using PHP. There is any posibility to do that?
And do you know any FLV free player for integrating in websites?
Thank you.

Yeah, use the shell execute function to run a converter. For example

PHP Code:

shell_exec('The command that will be executed.'); 


I would love to help you on the shell code to put, but I'm not really an expert on it.

Thank you @rogem002, but I dont have shell acces to the server. I have only ftp acces. There is any php converter between avi and flv?

I know there is something called ffmpeg which can convert alot of formats into alot of other formats :P
There is version of it especially for integratin with php (ffmpeg-php i believe). I've been trying to do the very same thing myself (a couple of months ago, not really a high priority for me any more) without much result. I never evan found any place from where I could download ffmpeg (no, not evan their own web site). There has been some posts around this forum some weeks ago about it, you should check those.

Hope this helps.

You will still need a ffmpeg-php extension which will be obviously unavailable if you even have no shell access. Kick your hosting support.

Thank you for your responses. I will talk with my hosting provider to install ffmpeg on the server.
