AVI to FLV converter

This is a simple project in concept, although actual implementation is likely to be quite difficult. It should be possible *in theory* however, since C++ libraries exist to do this. If it can be done in C++, it can be done in PHP. I've attached one such C++ library that creates FLV files ("libflv"). I'm looking for a video converter that will convert an AVI video file to a Flash 8 FLV (Flash Video). You must use only PHP to accomplish this - i.e, the default PHP installation provided by [login to view URL] - without the need to enable special extensions (like ffmpeg). What I'm looking for is quite similar to "Video to Flash Converter Pro", but using only PHP (I only need AVIs to be converted): [login to view URL] PHP variables should be available to set common conversion options such as: audio and video quality, framerate, resolution, and duration. The goal of this project is to provide PHP developers with a way to achieve this video conversion with a standard installation of PHP, as most web hosts provide. Sort of like how FPdf enables developers to create PDF files using pure PHP, without the need for specialized PDF libraries. To test your work, you should provide a simple HTML form whereby a user would be able to upload an AVI video file, then click "Convert to FLV". The script should convert the file to FLV and display for immediate viewing. If the format is undetectable, an appropriate error message should be displayed. It should not be necessary to have a dedicated server to use this conversion script. It should not be necessary to install any special server extensions other than a standard, default installation of PHP as provided by [login to view URL] I intend to give away this PHP code for free to the general PHP community, so that all PHP developers can benefit from your work. I'm NOT looking for a shortcut like using an external (command line) program to do the conversion and calling it using system(), exec(), backtick ` operators, or similar functions. If you can convert QuickTime files, too, I will gladly supply a bonus of 50% of the project cost to you. Thus, if your bid is $1000, I will give you a $500 bonus for making the script able to convert QuickTime files as well as AVI files. But at the very minimum, the script must be able to handle AVI files.
