I recommend you use FFMPEG ... It can convert almost any video type to FLV

We had a discussion about having video support in PHP lately on the
PHP internals, but this is yet not directly implemented in PHP. You
should use an external program, and then execute it witth the exec()
function for example.

I can't give you the name of a program, because you don't even tell if
you're using windows/linux. But i think you can find one yourself :)

We've had good success with automating Sorenson Squeeze directly via 
batched jobs on the server. Video encoding is an expensive process 
(cpu/memory expensive) so best done by dedicated boxes, or on low-freq 
sites at dedicated times of the day.


Cheers,
