I am using ffmpeg to convert a 1080p video to MP4 using this command in PHP.
$command = FFMPEG.' -i ' . $src . ' -sameq -strict -2 -vcodec libx264 -ar 22050 -y ' . $dest.'.mp4 2>&1';
exec($command,$output,$status);
The problem is that the process uses a lot of memory ~1600MB, which is not allowed by my server so ffmpeg gets terminated. Can I limit the memory usage of ffmpeg to about 600-700MB?
Any help is greatly appreciated…
It’s not about PHP. It’s about how to limit FFMPEG memory usage.
Short answer no!
