Has anyone heard of a good php video converter because no matter what i cannot seem to code one right. I have a my own server and can run any command line programs on it.

If you can tell me a good script 10 points + a possable space on my web server

PHP doesn't have the ability to convert videos, but like you mentioned, ffmpeg does. You can download the extension to integrate ffmpeg with PHP here: http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net

Note that you will have to have ffmpeg installed on the linux system, as well as ffmpeg-php packages found at the link above.

I've never used it myself yet, but I plan on using it for a project I'm working on.

Why would you use php to convert video formats? That's like using a screwdriver to drive across the country. You're using a tool that has nothing to do with the task you're trying to accomplish.
