I'm in front of a problem I can't solve !
I try to convert videos using the ffmpeg tool. When I paste the command on the server terminal (ssh root), it works fine. But, when I try in my PHP script using shell_exec, it returns the error "Error while opening encoder ...".
Here is the command I use:
ffmpeg -y -i VIDEOIN.mov -preset medium -strict -2 -c:v libx264 -b:v 1000k -pass 1 -f mp4 VIDEOOUT.mp4 </dev/null 1>logfile.txt 2>&1 &
And my PHP script:
$dir = 'videos/'.$uuid;
$out = $dir.'video.mp4';
$log = $dir.'transcoding_log.txt';
$preset = 'medium';
$bitrate = 1000;
$cmd = "ffmpeg -y -i ".$in." -preset ".$preset." -strict -2 -c:v libx264 -b:v ".$bitrate."k -pass 1 -f mp4 ".$out." </dev/null 1>".$log." 2>&1 &";
@file_put_contents($dir.'cmd.log', $cmd); // to debug
shell_exec($cmd);
Here is the log file created in the PHP script:

EDIT 1:
I compiled ffmpeg with the latest revision but the problem still occurs.
