I'm writing a web application where users can submit pictures, videos, and descriptons of points on a Google Map. I have the application written except for the video uploading. I've read about ffmpeg to convert uploaded videos and I've also read you need a flash video player for the users to view your videos. The server-side of my site is in PHP, am I on the right track here and is there a good open source flash video player that I could use? Any general tips from those who've done something like this? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

    From personal experience, definitely learn how to manipulate ffmpeg from the command line. Also look into forking a process off into the background, video conversion will take god awful forever and you don't want the user waiting 30 minutes with a continually loading page. – dcousineau Aug 27 '09 at 02:35
