On a Linux machine create a bash file like this ----- #!/bin/sh ffmpeg -i $1 -r $2 $3 &
----- The ampersand at the end tell the bash to run in the background. the $n is parameters. >From php call it like this: $command = mybashpath.sh inputfile.mpg 24 outputfile.flv; *exec* ( $command ); As you can see I called the bash file with three parameters. If you set a log for the ffmpeg command you will be able to check the execution status and show it in the index view I am sure there is a way to do it with Windows also. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
