How to run FFMPEG command in Asp.Net

To run ffmpeg commands in asp.net you need to use Media Handler class. Here is an example how to use media handler class to run ffmpeg commands.

//Create media handler object of Media_handler class

Media_handler mymediahandler=new Media_handler();

// Get web site application path

string webapppath =Server.MapPath(Request.ApplicationPath);

//Get ffmpeg.exe full path from mapping

string ffmpeg_path=HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(“ffmpeg.exe”);

//Run FFMPEG command by calling Execute_FFMPEG function of Media_handler class

mymediahandler.Execute_FFMPEG(ffmpeg_path, “-i c:\\clock.avi -vcodec mp3 c:\\clock.flv”);

    which is freeware is used for ffmpeg and is it based on the FFMPEG encoder (normally it is used to create .flv files from .avi or .mpg, but it can do the reverse too)?
