Here is what I need to achieve. I have created a form for my user to upload a videofile. This is all fine and dandy, no problems here. Now I would like to be able to encode the users video to either FLV or SWF (preferably the latter) on the fly. I also would want to create a thumb of the video for the user to see the thmbnail of his video. I am not set in stone when it comes to server configuration and serverside language, so any suggestions are welcomed...

I stumbled across a few solutions but they seem rather costly (10k and up - which is waaaayyyyy out of my league). There must be some small command-line programs out there that I can use non?

Any ideads anyone?

thanks
