I am developing php pages for mobile, in one page i have to display video, now i am testing the php page in google chrome, but in Google chrome not playing mp4,avi,etc. chrome playing only ogg and ogv format.

I heard about ffmpeg, i installed in my Ubuntu 12.4 environment, but it is also not converting to videos to ogg and ogv fromat. it converting other format like mp4,avi,ect.

Displaying video using 

 <video width="320" height="240" controls="controls" autoplay="true">
  <source src="/SeeSayDo/<?php echo $model->av;?>" />
</video>

user may uploads any video format like avi,mp4,flv,etc, so i have to display any format they uploaded.

You shouldn't be trying to play an AVI in a web browser ever. The formats that you should use in the HTML5 video tag are H.264 and Ogg/Theora (and maybe WebM), and that will get you the most coverage of supported browsers (see http://caniuse.com/#search=video for supported browsers/formats).

You will have to detect the browser and/or device and choose the proper video format.
