I’m on a shared hosting account and I can’t have the FFMPEG, FLVtool2 and MP4Box installed. Is there a workaround to convert mp4 files without these modules?

There is a PHP extension that encapsulates ffmpeg. It’s called ffmpeg-php. It’s a long shot, but maybe if you ask your hosting company nicely they can compile it and install it for you?
If not, you may want to consider switching to VPS hosting, then you can do pretty much whatever you want with your server.
Good luck.
