title: Video Conversion (a la youtube)
body: <p>So we were going to make a website allowing users to upload video. The website is going to be in PHP/MySQL. Are there any converters out there available for PHP to convert a video from a given format to flash to display on the web page to play?</p>
  
  <p>Basically we would have a file on the server in say .avi format, or quicktime format. How do I grab it from the server, convert it to flash and display it on the php page to play?</p>
  
  <p>Also, does can I use the video capabilities of HTML5 with PHP to make any of this easier?</p>
