Nope, they do it when uploading the video.

And what i'm trying to do with audio is more extending the limits of PHP. Ever wanted to become a web DJ? Nope. Some others might ;)

and there are of course a lot of ohter possibilities of usage.

There is a bunch of mature opensource utilities (transcoder, lame, oggenc etc.) and you can always use them to convert WAV to MP3 and AVI to OGG, it's just a matter of implementation.

What about WMA? do you know a library/encoder dat does convert from/to WMA? That windows-only format? I've never seen anybody using it. Well, i got huge music collection out here, just checking my main dir

with 3104 songs, it says 2674 MP3, 320 WMA and 110 other file formats.

Well, video files are just a set of frames, so if a PECL extension is able to read video files, they already need to be decoded, and so, all work is done already, it shoudl be very easy to also create other formats then. Are you really going to create videos on the fly? Yeah why not? what about setting up a stream? Having an movie showed

at your homepage where you create that videos from your admin panel :) Tijnema
