FFMPEG is a package installed your webhost.....that will help you run video share website.....basically what ffmpeg does is ...it converts the video formats to flv so that it can be played..online....as simple as that..

If you'd like more detailed information just go to ffmpeg dot org.

Why someone would want it. Quite simply because other streaming solutions from Adobe and other providers are extremely expensive. I've heard of one software package being around $30k.

Whereas with ffmpeg - all you need is some custom php software that you might be able to hack together for $100, and a host with ffmpeg installed.

There are many website which allow FFmpeg scripts at cheap cost check ClipBucket.com

Why is FFMPEG hosting is required?
Generally, every website differs from another, depending upon the contents. Some websites are exclusively for articles, some are for images, some for reviews and some for general information. Some of the websites are truly for video sharing such as Google Video and YouTube. If you consider starting with a video sharing website, then it is truly impossible, difficult and impractical to provide rapid, sound and quality services to people by hosting with the standard featured web-servers while adding and sharing the videos.

For all these reasons, you need to confirm whether if the company you are opting for the web hosting services are offering the FFMPEG web hosting to support video and audio community based website or not. Of course, ensuring that the web hosting company is providing such features in the web hosting plans is a tough and difficult job to do. If you are able to find the service provider who is providing all the required features, you need to make sure if the server of that company works efficiently and quickly.

And your host should also have the FFMPEG PHP module installed as well.

Well, since you will be using FFMPEG hosting for hosting media files i will advice you to go with high hosting plans which can support heavy video/audio files processing. Media files requires huge processing & server resources hence a VPS or a dedicated server is recommended for an well establish website.

If you are planning to host it on shared or reseller plans, I don't think it will be possible, as most of the providers will not allow you to host it on shared, as they may affect other websites hosted on it due to the huge resource utilization. Hence, any VPS or semi-dedicated server is recommended for using such applications.
