As the title suggests: FFmpeg, FFmpeg-php, and FLVTool2 are now available on all of our servers.
FFmpeg is located at /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
FLVTool2 is located at /usr/bin/flvtool2
FFmpeg-php is only available with PHP 5. Our servers still run PHP 4 by default (not for much longer). Information on how to use PHP 5 can be found here: http://forums.dathorn.com/showthread.php?t=2385
Please keep in mind that these programs can use a significant amount of system resources. Use of these programs should be done in a reasonable manner so as not to impact server performance for other customers. Here are a couple of things that could create problems:
- Consecutively converting a large number (5+) of videos to a different format
- Converting a long (3+ minutes) video to a different format
- Hosting popular YouTube clone sites
If we see an account that is causing problems a warning will be sent. If the problem persists, the domain may be suspended. We're offering these programs to our customers as they have been requested by many and they can be very useful on gallery type sites, etc. However, in doing so, we are not going to permit anyone to continually bring down the performance of a server due to their use of these programs. Please be responsible in your use of these programs.
