Nice but your coding was a little off RED_ALERT user.

so basically your adding ffmpeg to a separate directory folder on your computer and not in wamp if you using wamp. You can than i'm assuming create a html document that srcs the video and shouldn't need video js. Of course you would need to know the path to the video and figure out a way to put the path from the msyql query into the php shell_exec command above.

Here is another example which converts a wmv video into a mp4 video.
