    Flash Uploader avi Converter to flv can it be done?

    Ok I was wandering if this can be done in flash
    it would be a uploader wher the user would browse for a avi or mpeg and it would upload the file to a dedicated server but at the same time it would be converting the avi or mpeg to flv format

    would this be php scripts or java like youtube or flash alone?
    Whts your thoughts?

    It can be done

    Step 1
    Install xampp, use latest version. After installation there should be a directory C:\xampp
    In this example i use C:\xampp as default directory.

    Step 2
    Check if gd2 is installed, you can do this by using phpinfo() in you script.

    Step 3
    Download ffmpeg.exe from one of the following links:
    http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/ffmpeg/
    http://arrozcru.no-ip.org/ffmpeg_builds
    http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/ffmpeg/
    http://www.paehl.com/open_source/?Convert_Tools:FFMPEG
    http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php

    Step 4
    Unpack the downloaded zip or 7z file, three files should show up namely ffmpeg.exe, ffplay.exe, pthreadGC2.dll .

    Step 5
    Download the ffmpeg windows dll files:
    http://azzerti.free.fr/php_ffmpeg_win32.zip

    Step 6
    Unpack the downloaded zip file, five dlls should show up namely php_ffmpeg_20050123.dll, php_ffmpeg_20050212.dll, php_ffmpeg_20050618.dll and also avcodec.dll and avformat.dll

    Step 7
    Copy 1 of 3 dlls which you've unpacked in step 6 into C:\xampp\php\extensions. Rename the dll to php_ffmpeg.dll

    Step 8
    Open your php.ini file which you find in C:\xampp\php .Add the following line to the list with dlls:
    extension=php_ffmpeg.dll
    Check also if extension=php_gd2.dll is uncommented. If not then remove the ;

    Step 9
    Copy the avcodec.dll and avformat.dll which you've unpacked in step 6 to C:\WINDOWS\system32

    Step 10
    Copy pthreadGC2.dll which was unpacked in step 4 to C:\WINDOWS\system32

    Step 11
    Restart xampp

    Simple Example
    Step 12
    Create a directory in C:\xampp\htdocs for example www.test.dev\www
    C:\xampp\htdocs\www.test.dev\www

    Step 13
    Open the httpd.conf file, this one you find in C:\xampp\apache\conf
    Add under the line
    NameVirtualHost localhost:80

    the next data
    <VirtualHost localhost:80>
    ServerName www.test.dev
    DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/www.test.dev/www
    </VirtualHost>

    Step 14
    Find the hosts file on your computer, somewhere in the windows directory and add the following line:
    127.0.0.1 www.test.dev

    Step 15
    Restart xampp

    Step 16
    Make a php file in the DocumentRoot (C:\xampp\htdocs\www.test.dev\www) for example test.php

    Step 17
    Add a flv file to the DocumentRoot. In this example i call it wattan.flv.

    Step 18
    Copy ffmpeg.exe which you've unpacked in step 4 into the DocumentRoot.(C:\xampp\htdocs\www.test.dev\www)

    Step 19
    Add the following code to the test.php file:
    <?php
    $ffmpegpath = "ffmpeg.exe";
    $input = 'wattan.flv';
    $output = 'wattan.jpg';

    if (make_jpg($input, $output)){
    echo 'success';
    }else{
    echo 'bah!';
    }

    function make_jpg($input, $output, $fromdurasec="01") {
    global $ffmpegpath;

    if(!file_exists($input)) return false;
    $command = "$ffmpegpath -i $input -an -ss 00:00:$fromdurasec -r 1 -vframes 1 -f mjpeg -y $output";

    @exec( $command, $ret );
    if(!file_exists($output)) return false;
    if(filesize($output)==0) return false;
    return true;
    }
    ?>

    Step 19
    Open the url http:\\www.test.dev\test.php in firefox.

    Step 20
    enjoy!
