hello all i am having a video hosting site like youtube where i allow almost all kinds of videos to be uploaded but i would like to convert all the uploaded videos to mp4 format
i can do this and my code is below
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$getEXT_check=substr(@$_FILES['profileimage99']['name'],-3);
if($getEXT_check !='mp4' || $getEXT_check !='MP4'){
exec('ffmpeg -i '.$uploadfile.' -f mp4 -s 896x504 '.$new_flv.''); }
//execute ffmpeg and create thumb
exec('ffmpeg -i '.$uploadfile.' -ss 00:00:28.435 -vframes 1 '.$new_image_path);
$theduration=exec('ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 '.$uploadfile.' 2>&1');
$theduration_val=round($theduration/60, 2);
this code converts the non mp4 videos to mp4 and gets a thumbnail and gets duration correctly but the problem is that the process takes very much time like more than 2-3 hrs if i upload flv or mkv formats of about 100mbs.
please suggest me something better please if you need to see the full page code

$extfile = substr($input['name'],-4);
$extfile = explode('.',$extfile);

The issue:
FFmpeg call above takes too much time to convert the video to MP4.
Note:
In the future I will be having a quality selector in my video.js player.
