A totally different solution would to use a message queue like
http://rabbitmq.com. At least the you'll have a generic way to
schedule out of band work. And you don't have to use lock files, flag
columns or other tricks.

Thanks for all the information. If I go with a shared hosting, I would
pick one supporting ffmpeg and cron job, I found cirtex, haven't paid
yet because I am still developing on my own machine.
I have never used a queueing before, it sounds interesting, i will
look into that. I got the cron job

These ideas are fine if everything is running on a single server, but falls

This is a great idea! So whichever script starts encoding, it takes
place in the $LOCKS folder, then everytime before a new script starts
running it will always check if the $LOCK room is empty, and runs
only if it's empty. Brilliant! See how far I can go with all the
ideas...
THANK YOU, Ryan!!

I see, this is really complicated, so I think I'll try from mkdir.
Also, I want to ask if I create the shell as cakephp shell, will that
shell be restricted by the max_execution_time in php.ini?
Thanks,

WOW, thanks a lot, Ryan. That makes much more sense. I have never used
a daemon before. I think I need to investigate into that more. Do you
happen to know some keywords or article to take a look at? Sorry, I'm
really a newbie to php...
Thanks a lot!

.yes. well, you've forgotten to properly
You have the ff log to check if every thing is ok and the progress.
You can create PID file to check if the process ended.
Form my experience when dealing with files its better to inspect the
filesystem in order to know what you have.
The information from the database may conflict with the
