Hi,
I only did a lot of client-side work with ffmpeg. I never
tried it on a server.
Anyway there is also an extention for php called
FFMPEG-PHP: http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/
Ffmpeg is very fast but the disadvantage is that it only
supports the Spark codec and not On2 VP6. Thanks MM for using a proprietary
codec!
While using fffmpeg be sure to add the metadata for FLV 1.1
after encoding. Depending on the FLV Player they might be
important/essential.
You could use FLVTool2 (http://inlet-media.de/flvtool2) which
can insert Metadata, custom name-value-pairs, custom cuepoints or even cut the
video. FLVTool2 is written in Ruby and runs on win, mac, linux
...
I wrote a little GUI for FLVTool2 called FLV Knife: http://soenkerohde.com/software/flv-knife/
If you like to get familiar with FLVTool2 this would be a
good starter because the GUI always show which command-line will be
executed.
Cheers,
Sönke
I think, ffmpeg is good...have done some conversion in past...

I remember, there was another thread on this list regarding ffmpeg...
As far as compilation is concerned, check out this link: http://soenkerohde.com/tutorials/ffmpeg
I think, Sönke Rohde has been working with ffmpeg a lot, he might want to add his opinion here..

you need to be able to compile it yourself. Documentation is almost
non-existant so plan some time to figure things out. FFmpeg will convert
flv files to other formats which is something Flix Engine won't do. Once
you have it up and running it's amazingly fast. MUCH faster than On2.
Flix Engine is expensive but very powerful and reliable. It has a a
solid api that comes with decent documentation. We like it because it
gives you the option of using it as a com object so you can call and
configure it directly through ColdFusion etc.
As far as I know, there aren't any other solutions that provide an
elegant way to do server side conversions. Sorenson uses watch folders
which could conceivably be used for that purpose but many people have
reported issues with the reliability.
Not sure why the previous poster recommended Vitalstream since they are
a hosting provider. They do provide a live-streaming service but that's
hardly on-demand server side conversion. On a side note, I would stay as
far away from Vitalstream as possible. Their infrastructure is NOT
redundant and their integration of Flash Video Streaming is laughable.
Hope this helps.
