BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted November 7, 2007 FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It is a command line tool to convert one video file format to another. It also supports grabbing and encoding in real time from a TV card.You will note that it is described with "command line tool" which is not available as a web hosting service. This Open Source code seems to be installed in your localhost machine and not in remote web hosting machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rvalkass 5 Report post Posted November 8, 2007 Why would you need to? FFMPEG is a tool used for converting videos between formats, and has very little, if anything at all, to do with web hosting. Perhaps if you explain exactly why you need it, we might be able to help more or provide an alternative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nummell 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2007 I need it because I?m testing a site like you tube and ffmpeg needs to be installed for the script to work...So I have to install ffmpeg on my host...The problem is that I don?t want to buy hosting that already has ffmpeg installed until I?m shure that the script works...So I want to test the script in my Xisto hosting account.Xisto doesn?t have ffmpeg installed so I need to install it...Do you know if it?s possible to install ffmpeg on your host??? And how to install it??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted November 10, 2007 FFMpeg is not installed nor will be installed since it will require command access for your hosting. This is not available for Free Web Hosting, No Ads accounts.It is, however, available for Xisto - Web Hosting accounts but as you said it is a paid hosting account. Therefore, you should modify your strategy to fit your testing needs.Have you considered making your own server with unix/linux OS? We have various tutorials that demonstrates running your own PC webhosting service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
