FFMPEG Convertion Library... HELP!

[eluser]Phil Sturgeon[/eluser]
I have a very simple library created purely for one project and a simple convertion.

I have the code:

Code:

// END VIDEO Class

This doesnt seem to work on Safari... only a problem safari!! Instead of converting the file it just makes a 0byte flv file then deletes the origional.

Im wondering if I should have a loop that waits for it to convert somehow... or something... somebody pls help on this, its a very odd error and I need it sorted soon.

Hi,a friend of mine and i are developing a class that will show how you can upload,convert to .flv and store a video link to mysql.

Its 2 years since you posted the class above,have you succeded in making a flv video class that works?

I had the same problem, except it happened in all browsers, but I fixed it just last week. I even had the same exec command. Unfortunately the server I have the fix on is down right now or I'd grab you the new exec line. I'm working on this project later today (after the server restarts) and I'll give you the code I used. I didn't even need flvtool2, or the audio settings from ffmpeg_movie. I'll get back to you later, sorry for the delay.

[eluser]phpserver[/eluser]
Macro,i will be waiting.Thanks.

Forgot about this class. Wrote it in a time before I understood OOP or good class creation. If I remember rightly the issue was more in the uploading than in the converting. When the file is on the server it would be independant of browser problems.

Let me know how it goes!

[eluser]darkhouse[/eluser]
Here's the conversion command I'm using, and I'll show you how I get the video dimensions using ffmpeg_movie:

Code:

$srcFile = 'someFile.mpg';
$destFile = 'someFile.flv';

$ffmpegObj = new ffmpeg_movie($srcFile);
        
$srcWidth = $ffmpegObj->getFrameWidth();
$srcWidth -= $srcWidth & 1;
            
$srcHeight = $ffmpegObj->getFrameHeight();
$srcHeight -= $srcHeight & 1;

$srcSize = $srcWidth.'x'.$srcHeight;

exec("ffmpeg -i {$srcFile} -sameq -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s {$srcSize} {$destFile}");

This code works great for me, hopefully it works for you as well.

Hello friend

I am installing FFMpeg successfully also verified ffmpeg is successfully installed by executing php.inf file but how to verified flvtool2 is on my machine or installed on machine and also tell its source/link where i found it.

Sorry about my english

hello friends

I am trying to upload vedio and creating its thumbnail so follow above code but i got error "Can't open movie file funny dogs.wmv"
my code is
$srcFile=$_FILES['upload_file']['name'];
$destFile="out.flv";
$ffmpegPath="c:/wamp/www/codeigniter/system/plugins/ffmpeg.exe";
$ffmpegTool="c:/wamp/www/codeigniter/system/plugins/flvtool2.exe";

$ffmpegobj = new ffmpeg_movie($srcFile);
$srcwidth = $ffmpegobj->getFrameWidth();
echo $srcwidth;
//$srcwidth -= $srcwidth & 1;
//$srcheight = $ffmpegobj->getFrameHeight();
//$srcheight -= $srcwidth & 1;
//$srcsize=$srcwidth.'x'.$srcheight;


// $config['upload_path'] = 'c:/wamp/www/CodeIgniter/system/application/ffmpeg/';
// $config['allowed_types'] = 'avi|dat|flv|mp3|mp4|MPEG|rm|wmv';
// $config['max_size'] = '112400 ';


$this->load->library('upload', $config);



if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload('upload_file'))
{
$error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
echo $error['error'];
$this->load->view('upload_video', $error);
}
else
{ exec("$ffmpegPath -i {$srcFile} -sameq -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s {$srcSize} {$destFile}");
$data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
$this->load->view('upload_suceess');
//printf("frame height = %d pixels\n", $ffmpegobj->getFrameHeight());
//printf("frame width = %d pixels\n", $ffmpegobj->getFrameWidth());
//echo "hi ";
