This is the function that I use... (remember the forum breaks Pipes, so you will need to replace them)

function converttoflv( $in, $out ) {
if (file_exists($out)) {
unlink( $out );
}
$cmd = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg -v 0 -i $in -b 64k -ar 11025 -sameq $out 2>&1 ¦ grep time";
$fh = popen( $cmd, "r" );
while($prop = fgets( $fh ) ) {
if (!empty($prop)) {
$length = $prop;
}
}
pclose( $fh );
return $length;
}

Also note that if you have safe_mode enabled in your PHP configuration that this won't work unless you have ffmpeg in your safe_mode_exec_dir.

Hi,

I didnt got the converted file when i used that function also.I didnt got any error also.

In my php.ini the safe_mode was disable(off).What i have to be done for getting this ?
