I would like to run FFMPEG to process video uploads on my site, but I am currently using a shared host which does not allow me to use this program. I cannot yet afford a dedicated server. Is there anything else I can do?
I am developing a phpfox site and in order to use the video capabilities I need a host with ffmpeg installed.
My current host were a bit misleading and let me think I could pay them a small sum to install ffmpeg on a shared server and that would see to it. Turns out I would need to get a dedicated server, which was quite a shock when I saw the price of that.
I would like to know if shared servers with ffmpeg are worthwhile, or is a dedicated server generally regarded as the only way to go?
If success can be achieved with shared hosting, are there any hosting companies that would be recommended. Apthost is a name that seems to crop up quite regularly, but I don't know how to tell a good host from a bad host, so I'm asking you all!
P.S. My bandwidth needs shouldn't be more than 100gb/month at the start, but that is only a rough beginner's guess.
I have server with the Plesk control panel on Linux server and want to install ffmpeg + MPlayer + LAME + FLVtool2 + MediaInfo + Mencoder + MP4Box + neroAacEnc , but not sure about the steps to install it. Is there any script or easy steps to install ffmpeg + MPlayer + LAME + FLVtool2 + MediaInfo + Mencoder + MP4Box + neroAacEnc on my server.

Prior to installing FFmpeg and its dependencies, I want to know about FFmpeg server-side conversion without the php script. Does it require those php scripts in the first place or I can just run an ssh command?
Also, does this FFmpeg have a configuration file in which you can set the quality of the converted .fla videos?
How about a lossless quality conversion and keeping the size proportion of the video the same?
Meaning, for example, from .avi to .fla without sacrificing/loosing the quality much or noticeably.
I am currently using a shared hosting but due to increasing traffic and server load my existing host is not able to provide reliable services and I am planning to upgrade my hosting service.
While I was searching for Dedicated Servers, I learnt about Virtual Dedicated Servers but I am not very sure about their reliability? Are Virtual Dedicated Servers useful? My website current serves over 2500-3000 visitors a day resulting in 30,000 pageviews and I am expecting the traffic to grow by atleast 2 folds in the next few months as I start some PPC campaigns and Email Marketing for my website. Can a Virtual Dedicated Server cater such needs assuming my website to be more of less dynamic website written in php?
I had is running it on my php4.. I upgraded to php5 using easyapache but now its not working.. Its has the ffmpeg.So in the extenuion folder and php.ini has the extension folder and the extension defined.. Any solution
After much efforts and help of members of this forum i have installed ffmpeg, ffmpeg-php, gd on my server.. Now the purpose for which i have installed all this is to get the thumbnail of the videos..
I tried the code given on its homepage but thats not working..
I've been researching and thinking on offering it on our servers but I still have a few doubts. How resource intensive is it? Does it affect a shared environment too much?
I need to host some video materials and I don't want to use something big like a VPS or dedi, shared will be enough for me. That's why I think quillhost.com service will suit my needs well as they support ffmpeg on their shared service.
I was wondering if there was anyone out there that could do an ffmpeg, flvtool2, mencoder installation on my CentOS 5.2 VPS for $10. I need it to be able to run phpmotion / youtube clone scripts...
We have a managed VPS, and have never needed on our own dedicated servers in teh past to have FFMPEG due to the line of data we host. So, I asked our provider to please install FFMPEG onto our server.
This is the response I have received:
FFMpeg requires PHP to be compiled as CGI (PHPsuexec) that is only officially supported by cPanel. So in order to install FFMpeg modules we have to resetup your VPS with cPanel.
Now our VPS is running Direct Admin on CentOS.
I am not trying to poke holes at our provider, just trying to find out if this is the truth, or if there is a work around that can accomplish this.
I do not want CPANEL on our account. We have two unix techs here at work, however unfortunately they are both off for two weeks as of middle of last week, so i'm caught with who to look for to gain a second opinion.
2- i have a music box and i have a large vistiros are my site in the workied good thats my site for media www.ms.ahba.in and i want convert to social media script

6- are thee ssh include
7- and about vps if i want install scripr or update the apatchi for example did help me with out charge
I have just followed a manual online for installing ffmpeg in 5 minutes, I've been requested to enure the 3gp codec is installed, how can I install this codec?
after many painstaking hours, im at a loss as to where to go now (finally managed to get up to the point of running phpize in the ffmpeg directory)

Originally I thought i had compiled it in when compiling PHP,
Infact:
Code: './configure' '--disable-debug' '--disable-rpath' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-gd' '--with-openssl' '--with-png' '--with-zlib' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mysql' '--with-pear' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--with-ffmpeg=yes' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' But when i go to the tests/ffmpeg_test.php file I get:
Code: Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so' - Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so" in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/tests/test_ffmpeg.php on line 17 Can't load extension /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so I used the ports tree to install FFMPEG and here is the version info:
Code: bsd# ffmpeg -v ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4718, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard built on Mar 14 2007 20:42:22, gcc: 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305 After finally getting to this point, i say the heck with it and just decide to try and use phpize and compile it in that way as an extension ( following: http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/ ).
However, after I got phpize to work ( had to cp autoconf259 and autoheader259 to autoconf and autoheader since it was complaining about it ), it gave me this set of errors:

Stop in /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0.
After I get all this working and install it on a another machine I plan on writing a guide for FreeBSD users inside the tutorials section - but this one part has stumped me.
The only thing I can think of is something along the lines of maybe i downloaded a 64 bit version of something along the way?
Should i continue along this route with phpize adding it as an extension, or does someone else have some information on that ffmpeg_test.php file?
12. Compile FFMPEG cd ~/ffmpeg/ffmpeg ./configure --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libogg --enable-libvorbis --disable-mmx --enable-shared echo '#define HAVE_LRINTF 1' >> config.h make make install
I got an error like this:
Quote:
[root@host ffmpeg]# ./configure --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libogg --enable-libvorbis --disable-mmx --enable-shared Unable to create and execute files in /tmp. Set the TMPDIR environment variable to another directory and make sure that /tmp is not mounted noexec. Sanity test failed. If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest version from SVN. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the ffmpeg-devel@mplayerhq.hu mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net. Include the log file "config.err" produced by configure as this will help solving the problem.
