Video upload and playback

[lukemack]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a class/script which handles video file uploads,
preferably with Flash integration? I'm looking to have a video
upload / library section in my cake app.

I considered the youtube api but they dont have upload functionality
in the api (yet). The following links suggest what i want to do should
be possible:

http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/ (to convert the files to flv)
http://fanno.dk/index.php?option=com...d=15&Itemid=53

However, the amateurish nature of the second link makes me nervous!
I'm also not even sure I need to access the meta data in the flv
files. If I can convert them, I can have a flash video app do the rest
(progressive download will be fine so no need for true streaming).

Could AMFPHP handle this?

Many thanks for any replies.

If you're talking about uploading and saving a video file, there
shouldn't be any difference between uploading a video and any other file.

Now if you want to convert the file to another format, that's a
different story.

ffmpeg or mencoder can convert pretty much anything to flv. You can
create them via php using shell commands once the file is uploaded
