Converting mp3 to ogg with ffmpeg

Question

My goal is to convert .mp3 to .ogg, i googled it and i realized that ffmpeg is suitable for this kind of process in php. Well the question is how to run ffmpeg :

I've downloaded the file from here. The problem is how to use this.

Answer 1

This library is really old (10 years!), I would not recommend it.

You can call process via exec() to convert given file - for example:

exec("ffmpeg -i $inputPath $outputPath")

Of course, you need to have ffmpeg package installed on your server. This is not safe solution and you shouldn't publish this for everyone.
