I want the users to only upload a video, then write a code that splits this video into user-defined segments, then convert those segments to .flv and .mp4 videos.
Is there any way I can do that?
I don’t think there is any way to do this directly within PHP. Even if there was, it wouldn’t be the most sensible thing to do.
Your best bet is to hook your web application up to a command line program, such as ffmpeg, and call your system commands from the PHP script.
I’d approach this by building a job queue with your web application adding jobs to the queue and dedicated worker processes pulling from the queue, performing the task and recording the completion of the task somewhere else.
This means that your users won’t have to wait for the video to be re-encoded in real time.
