title: PHP ffmpeg output location
body: <p>My website allow users to upload video files to the server. Original file will be move to folder "Original" ffmpeg will compress the video and store the video in 480p folder. how to i setup ffmpeg so that it will store output of the compressed video file into original/480p? </p>
  
  <p>Partial code of upload.php</p>
  
  <pre><code>$target_dir = "Original/"; //where you want to upload the files to
  $target_file = $target_dir.basename($_FILES['file']['name']);
  $fileType = pathinfo($target_file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
  $newFileName = $target_dir.sha1(pathinfo(basename($_FILES['file']['name']), PATHINFO_FILENAME)).'480p'.'.'.$fileType;
  //$newFileName = $target_dir.sha1(pathinfo(basename($_FILES['file']['name']), PATHINFO_FILENAME)).'-'.time().'.'.$fileType;
  move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $newFileName);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>using this FFMPEG command</p>
  
  <pre><code>shell_exec("C:\\ffmpeg\\bin\\ffmpeg.exe -y -i ".$newFileName." -c:v libx264 -s:v 854x480 -c:a copy \"480p\\{$newFileName}\" &gt; logfile.txt 2&gt;&amp;1");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i get the error 
      480p\Original/ffbaf58f1231628f9ac2a583f038b51719006ec6480p.mp4: No such file or directory</p>
