I have dreamhost's hosting, and trying to get ffmpeg work on it. I have installed there gallery one click setup and it is using the ffmpeg quite easily after it is installed but in my own site I am unable to check that if it is installed and how to make ffmpeg work.

It is quite strange for me that it is working in the sub-folder of my site name "gallery" as I installed that gallery in that location and gallery installation has setup the ffmpeg for its use when I installed it. But why I am unable to get it work for my main site.

Please help me, really very urgent.

extension_loaded('ffmpeg') or die("ffmpeg extension not loaded");

I tried this to test, and it results in die() msg, i.e. ffmpeg extension not loaded. How to load or what do I do.

Lot of Thanks in advance

No, it is basically "ffmpeg" php extension for converting videos into flash flv format, and I am willing to do so on this hosting and is quite tough to get it done.

So I need some recommendations or steps to follow.

Thanks
