Question

What options do I have for converting MP3’s to OGG on the fly using PHP? I assume the only way to do this is via the command line with an execute statement. Is this true? If so, what converters (and associated commands) would I be best off using?

I have tried:

oggenc2.exe but was told by the program that the MP3 I passed was not a valid filetype

ffmpeg.exe but was unable to figure out how to go from mp3 to ogg (found how to go from ogg to mp3 though)

Answer 1

You didn’t look very far…

exec(“/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i infile.mp3 -acodec libvorbis outfile.ogg”);
