PHP adds subtitles to videos using ffmpeg

usage : copy code above into encoder.php place this file into your web server root directory, install all the requried tools needed to use ffmpeg-php now place some video.avi and video.srt or video.sub etc video.idx subtitle ,to encode video with srt visit your script http://yourip/encoder.php it should grab thumbnail then start the encoding job, refresh page and thats it

this encoding script has been tested on a bare bone VPS ubuntu 8.04 server with the following tools installed

Apache2
PHP5
Php-cli
ffmpeg-php
ffmpeg
mencoder

optional : mplayer - could be used instead of ffmpeg to grab thumbnails

$dir = './'; // set to current folder
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
 while(false!== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
 if ( is_file($dir.$file) ){
 if (preg_match("'.(avi)$'", $file) ){
 $sub_file = str_ireplace(".avi", ".srt", $dir.$file);
 $idx_file = str_ireplace(".avi", ".idx", $dir.$file);
 $thumb_file = str_ireplace(".avi", ".jpg", $dir.$file);
 $out_file = str_ireplace(".avi", ".mp4", $dir.$file);
 flv_convert_get_thumb($dir.$file, $sub_file, $idx_file, $thumb_file, $out_file);
 }
 else{
 continue;
 }
 }
 }
 closedir($handle);
}

//flv_convert_get_thumb('input.avi', 'input.srt', 'output.jpg', 'output.ogm');
// code provided and updated by steve of phpsnaps ! thanks
