how can i convert any video to .webm after upload?

[lightwalker19]

I need to find a solution to convert any mp4, avi, mpg etc to .webm.. i searched online and found a tool called ffmpeg, but i dont know if google will detect it like malware, and i dont know how to use it, i found a article that explains how to convert to flv using this tool(http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/...-progressive-s) but it looks very complicated and im "new" to this. I was wandering if anyone knows how to convert any type of video to .webm, if i manage to do this i can use html5 video object. Please help!

What you're looking to do is a very complicated task and will require a 3rd party component (such as the one described in the CodeProject article), so there isn't a simple explanation on how to accomplish this task.

But if i use that component described in CodeProject, google will detect it as malware? will it run in a shared hosting environment?thank you :)

You're asking us to try and read the mind of the service provider you're using... simply not possible. What you need to do at this stage is go the provider and discuss your project with them to determine what will or will not run in their environment.
