Is it possible to check ffmpeg-status?

[Allan]

Hey.

Is it somehow possible to check ffmpeg -s status via PHP?

Idea would be that when a user submits a video/audio file the data is
added to a database and endocing php is called -> this file should
first check if a ffmpeg-process is already running or not (so it
wouldn't start encoding 2 files at the same time) and then either
start a new process or do nothing (since at the end of every encoding
the system automatically checks for new files to be encoded to .flv).

Use a lock file or add a field to your database that gets set when a transcoding process finishes.
