Hello, I am very new to php. I recently setup php on my mac and I am trying to setup ffmpeg-php to convert various videos to flv or other formats as desired. I used this tutorial FFmpeg Mac Installation and I got ffmpeg to work using the terminal, however, when I try to encode a movie using php I get an error. In my apache error_log file it says permission denied next to the flv file (shown below).

I have no idea what the problem is. I am using the following php code:

<?php 
extension_loaded('ffmpeg') or die('Error in loading ffmpeg');

$ffmpegInstance = new ffmpeg_movie('test.AVI');
echo "getDuration: " . $ffmpegInstance->getDuration() .

exec('ffmpeg -i /Users/myApple/Sites/AdHere/test.mov /Users/myApple/Sites/AdHere/movteststuff.flv');



?>

I am able to see various parameters like filename, frameheight, framewidth, which leads me to believe that ffmpeg-php is kind of working, but maybe I am just doing something wrong in the exec() command. Anyone have any ideas. I have been struggling with setting up ffmpeg for quite some time now.

Thanks!
