PHP Live Transcode -- HTML5 and Flash streaming with live transcoding
Copyright (C) 2010  Matthias -apoc- Hecker <http://apoc.cc>

Overview:

This program uses ffmpeg/avconv to do live transcoding of video for display via
HTML5 using either HTML5 video or Flash (using flowplayer).

Requirements:

-Linux OS
-PHP (proc_open() must be enabled)
-Webserver (Apache is good)
-ffmpeg
-mplayer
-The libav "extras" packages along with other codec support may be necessary for some video formats.
-A reasonably fast computer (live transcoding can be extremely taxing)

Original article by "apoc" for creation of this tool:

http://sixserv.org/2010/11/30/live-transcoding-for-video-and-audio-streaming/

Installation:

-Copy the folder to your web directory (usually /var/www/).
-Edit the includes/config.inc.php script, make sure to specify the media path and that the read privileges are correct.
-Make sure that shell_exec() is enabled.
-Make sure the images/screenshots/ folder and the logs folder are writeable by your server (probably 'www-data' user or something for Apache)
