Formatting videos

[garyjohnson]

I want to know if it possible for a code to automatically format a video once uploaded by a user to my website.

Explain what you mean by 'format'

[garyjohnson]

Say I upload a video that has the extensions .wmv I want the code to format it to .mp4, while the user uploads it.

ffmpeg ?

I have seen this online and dont really understand it, can this program be installed onto my hosting account?

[pritaeas]

That is something you should ask your host.

I have an account with Godaddy, do you know anything about them?

Well I guess that answers that question. Do you know of any other programs which could format the videos?
