Re: [PHP] avi to wmv convert
Try looking up ffmpeg. It can convert between many video formats, runs on linux or windows(compile under mingw) and can be called via backtick, system() or exec() functions. I use it from a php script to convert flash FLV files to MPG.

If you don't see it in the manual, chances are PHP cannot do it on it's own. Without seeing any 'video' functions listed in 'THE MANUAL', I would hazard a guess that converting between two different video formats is a bit beyond the scope of PHP. Not to say that this cannot be done, as I'm sure there is an API out there that PHP can interact with, but someplace like Google would be a better place to start a search like there. Agreed, my issue is with the pure unhelpfulness of the responses to the question. The response was: There are a few listed in the manual. which is totally wrong.

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
