[Klug-general] converting video on the fly

[Dan Attwood]

So I'm been looking at this on a off for a while and failing to get
anywhere so I wonder if anyone has any ideas on how i might do this:

I have a folder full of videos in various formats (avi, mkv etc). I would
like to be able to play these in a html 5 capable video player embedded in
a php page - so flash. I don't want to have to convert all the videos to
mp4 permanently but want to be able is possible to convert them on the fly.

This is also because I have xbmc which runs awesomely as a standalone/ full
screen app but is rubbish when running in windowed mode on a desktop. so
the idea was to create a web front end running of the xbmc database.

any one got any ideas or links to tutorials and the such.
