I'm going to try to strongly discourage you from trying this at all. Video conversion (decoding, then encoding) requires a lot of processing cycles and a large memory space, and getting conversion speeds significantly faster than real-time (one second of video takes one second to convert) takes a lot of horsepower. It's not even close to practical in a shared environment -- even if the timesharing and memory management were perfect and never allowed your code more than its share of resources, the processing time would increase to the point that burning a disc and hand-delivering it would be a practical alternative.

Even the typical VPS would be underpowered for the task, and it's not something where you can just spawn a new instance to share the load (as you can with a request/reponse web server). That means a dedicated or co-located server with above-average specs. And that means money with a capital M. And you still won't be able to do it fast enough for a browser to wait for the results.

It's far more practical to do the conversion on your local machine/network without the PHP layer, even if the object of the game is to move the files to a web server for download.

And you DEFINITELY wouldn't want to do this in PHP.

by change the design do you mean the style of the page (eg: colours etc)?

If so, use CSS. You can find CSS help from google.
Thanks for reading, GtoXic

You would probably have better results using an actual program designed for converting video formats, instead of doing it via an online application anyway.

I have the used ffmpeg extension before, it does work. It's not preloaded so you would have to install it yourself. The major problem you will be facing though are the numerous codecs out there that the library does not know how to convert. So you will experience a lot of errors. That's why nobody encourages you to try it.

TO ADMIN,
TO MEMBERS,
TO THOSE WHO KNOWS FFMPEG,


I look around many threads and posts in different sites, but bcz of less script and functions knowledge i am not able to get anything right, and also i know some sites (other than hosting site) provide this feature but they only allow max. length is 200 mb or less


bcz i downloaded a movie that having different lang, i do not want to download 500 mb again, so i want to extract only audio and download it, i will delete those in 1 hrs after successfully conversion of vid to mp3, i want this for only personnel use and i am not going to allow any person expect me to use it, and even i will use only few times, bcz my main purpose is to learn php and hosting here


so my three points are

1. Admin and members who have privilege and authorized to access my site/domain can do it for me preload it for me plzzzzzzz

2. if ffmapeg is not allowed at here x10hosting than plz admin and member tell me coz i donot want to be banned myself again

3. can anyone explain me in simple and easy to understable that how do i can install ffmpeg on my server and extract audio from mp4/avi/mkv files

Why not use a program on your computer? There are an extreme large amount free and paid software that can do this for you. If you only need subs for example, just download a .srt file from a subbing website and then download the CCCP-project and play it in media player classic and you will have the subs playing (subs have to be same name as video). On extracting sound, no idea about what software, but I'm sure there are a lot.

Also, avi, mp4 and mkv is only the containers, not the codec itself. mkv is probably the easiest one to extract stuff from because how it's buit. Demux the mkv with a program like MKVExtractGUI (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVExtractGUI) to get audio, video and subs as separate files. Then use some muxer tool like AVI-Mux GUI: http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/

galaxyAbstractor,

I think you did not understand my question,

in simple term i want to know will x10hosting banned me for using ffmpeg

and if they allow me to use it than i need guide on it or preload or install it for me {sorry for bad english knowledge}



{think it - what you wrote in your answer}



you talk about subs - if i need just subs then there are already many sites that i know provide subs in many lang,

using program on computer and codec and mkv extractor - i already have many programing software and also for that i have to download movie again and i have really slow connection and think why i will choice to convert downloaded movies when i already got new file/movie

It can't be used on free hosting. You could probably use it on a VPS, though

To install ffmpeg you will need to access your webhost via SSH, which is locked in a free account. So I guess using it is not possible. Not unless x10hosting would grant you special priviledges .

Re: using PHP - how to convert video (avi, mp4, mkv) or even extract audio/video/subt

No - just buy a month and then if you like it, renew it for longer.

To install ffmpeg you will need to access your webhost via SSH, which is locked in a free account. So I guess using it is not possible. Not unless x10hosting would grant you special priviledges .

Again incorrect - you would need SSH (or something similar) and permissions to install stuff on the server. ffmpeg will not be installed on free hosting.

Re: using PHP - how to convert video (avi, mp4, mkv) or even extract audio/video/subt

I still can't understand why you want to convert the video on a hosting server using PHP? IF you were able to, you would still have to upload the video to the server. Upload speeds are usually 10 - 20 times slower than download speeds, then you have to download the converted video. Then it would be faster to just download the video with correct language, or just get some software and do it on your computer. Or are you intending to start a service for this? If so, you would probably need a couple of dedicated servers for that.

 

[id0tx10m]

I found a way to enable ffmpeg. Change CPanel theme to the classic theme, and then scroll down to the "Select PHP Version" option. Click it and you will see a bunch of checkboxes, including FFmpeg! Check FFmpeg and click "Save"

 

[id0tx10m]

yeah i had wanted to create a service for it but its ok, there are already some that exist and ive found some success on another site that uses Node instead of PHP. Thank you for the help!
edit: wait i didnt post this nvm lmao
