I'm wondering if something is possible using php. Here's the idea.

1) Users upload various video files (mpg, avi, wmv, whatever).

2) Admin previews the video, and if the video is acceptable, clicks a button that automatically turns it into a flash swf file, and adds the video to a database with some keywords. It would have to be an automated process because the amount of videos to preview might be enormous.

3) Users can search the site for keywords, and see flash videos when selected.

All of this sounds normal, except for the automatic flash video creation.

Any ideas? Maybe a non-php solution? I'm a php guy, and have looked at Ming, but it doesn't seem to do what I want it to do.
