Description

Martin suggested I add this to the tracker after saying it was a good idea. Are there any plans to incorporate tools like ffmpeg to convert videos on the fly into web friendly flv

Somewhere in the file upload dialog there could be a (hidden by default?) checkbox saying something like "Convert video files to Flash video automatically".

ffmpeg is one option, mencoder is another. They can both be used together too, to convert different types of videos to flv. An upload progress meter of some sort would be useful with this too. Problem is that all of this adds to the system requirements, as none of this is built-in in PHP.
