Hi,

I was wondering if anybody knew how to convert a (wmv,avi, etc...) to a Flash FLV? Examples: www.youtube.com or www.google.com/video.

I'm sure they don't expect everybody to know how to convert videos to FLVs so I'm sure they have a script that does it. I know there is a php extension that does it called FFMPEG or something..but I have shared hosting and can't install extensions.

So, I'm just seeing if there is a standalone script out there, maybe Python (.py) or CGI?

Did anyone notice that the title of the thread is "Convert video to FLV through code" and so far no one suggested anything which can convert videos into flv though code.
Anyway i have a solution for you dear, Use ffmpeg library to convert videos, i have used it and it is very fast and it comes with a lot of options for video quality and formatting. It uses the command line execution in php to convert videos. See detail @ FFmpeg

Very useful, but as for me, I prefer to use Macvide VideoFlash Converter. It converts different formats to flv or swf in high quality. And I like it because it is very easy to use))

but still dude it is not that you could use it through code. you have to manually input your video files which is not dynamic i am afraid.
