i have tried 
<?
runExternal( "ffmpeg -i video.mov -s 320x240 -r 30 video.flv", &$code );
if( $code ) echo "bad transcoding";
else echo "looks good";
function runExternal( $cmd, &$code ) {
 $descriptorspec = array(
  0 => array("pipe", "r"), // stdin is a pipe that the child will read from
  1 => array("pipe", "w"), // stdout is a pipe that the child will write to
  2 => array("pipe", "w") // stderr is a file to write to
 );
 $pipes= array();
 $process = proc_open($cmd, $descriptorspec, $pipes);
 $output= "";
 if (!is_resource($process)) return false;
 #close child's input imidiately
 fclose($pipes[0]);
 stream_set_blocking($pipes[1],false);
 stream_set_blocking($pipes[2],false);
 $todo= array($pipes[1],$pipes[2]);
 while( true ) {
  $read= array();
  if(!feof($pipes[1]) ) $read[]= $pipes[1];
  if(!feof($pipes[2]) ) $read[]= $pipes[2];
  if (!$read) break;
  $ready= stream_select($read, $write=NULL, $ex= NULL, 2);
  if ($ready === false) {
   break; #should never happen - something died
  }
  foreach ($read as $r) {
   $s= fread($r,1024);
   $output.= $s;
  }
 }
 fclose($pipes[1]);
 fclose($pipes[2]);
 $code= proc_close($process);
 return $output;
}
?>
