Hi,

May I know can FFmpeg work on share hosting?
My hosting company told me that FFMPEG needs a dedicated server to work.

Regards
Stephen

It'll work fine on shared hosting so long as the host has it installed on the server. IIRC, all Gallery does with Ffmpeg is extract a frame to use as a thumbnail. So you can get around that by using a custom thumbnail for your movies.
