When I was first learning PHP I created a application call Web Video Encoder (http://wve.sf.net) I would like to work from scratch using the same kind of idea. I would like to know whether it is possible to write a video toolkit using ffmpeg and flv video.

Any information you could provide, eg. how the current toolkits are implemented, would be very helpful.

Well, we already use ffmpeg in G2. We also have a Transcode module which needs to be finished.
And already have a flashvideo module to display flvs.

Ok, Well if that is the case, could I be of any help with the transcode module?

Absolutely :)
Grab yourself the lateset code from svn.
Check the current state of review.
I believe some of the todo(s):

  • transcode upon upload
  • add options for size/bitrate
  • general code cleanup

Unfortunately this module is not for everybody - as you know, you need a fairly hearty ffmpeg to perform these ops.
