Every programmer has an idea to convert the video file types dynamically into any formats on the fly. They all know there is a tool called FFMPEG to convert video formats to their desired formats which they want. In this tutorial i'll let you know how to use the FFMPEG tool during file upload dynamically.
1. Download FFMPEG.EXE from here
2. Extract the FFMPEG.EXE from the archive.
3. Place the FFMPEG.EXE in the webdirectory.
4. As you all know how to upload a file (So i'm moving to the next step).
5. After the file uploaded just put the below line
exec("ffmpeg -i recipe_videos/$path -f flv recipe_videos/$test[0].flv");
//Format exec("ffmpeg -i pathofthevideouploaded -f towhichformat wherethefiletobesavedwithextension");
6. If you want delete the old file.
7. Now you can view the video in the desired format.

It worked on my localhost.
WIll it work on a linux server as well?
Which revision should i download to work on both linux and windows
you can use the latest & stable exe file for both windows & linux version. In windows you must ask your service provider to allow executing the exe file. Because in most of the windows server the firewall will protect to not executing the exe file directly.
In step 4, please tell us where to put that line in.
Hope you replay soon.
After move_uploaded_file you can put the exec("") command

Hello Sir,I have used ffmpeg.exe ,
on localhost it is done but for small size video files.
means i have tried mp4 file having size 2.12MB to flv ,it did not work.
less than 2MB files are converted.
Please reply.
Hi Poonam,
If you want to convert more than 2mb files then you've to increase upload_max_filesize & post_max_size
and also need to increase the max_execution_time in php.ini file. so that it can convert larger file size
Thank You for reply
I have already increased upload_max_size,post_max_size and now i increased max_execution_time also
still video files are not converted
it only creates video file of flv type but with 0 byte size.
