Sagar, I have not tried it, but I think ffmpeg can be compiled for windows.

Using “-ss” rather than “-itsoffset” is considerably faster. e.g. ffmpeg -ss 12 -i test.avi -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo -s 320×240 test.jpg

The command you posted here is missing a ” at the end. When the command runs, does it throw any errors?

still no effect..
i trying to upload
$filePath = $uploadDir.$fileName;

ffmpeg -i “.$filePath.” -y -s 320×240 -ab 32000 -ar 22050 -g 160 -cmp 3 -subcmp 3 -mbd 2 -flags aic+cbp+mv0+mv4+trell “.$convPath

where $filePath is source path where files is already uploaded.
upload is successfull but when ffmpeg start to conversion i got no files at $convPath.but vice versa if i use filename with no spaces instead.

Try enclosing the filename in double quotes like this –> “my video.avi”
