I convert the files to flv too. For the conversion in currently use mplayer 
called from the command line (shell_exec()), But the conversion class is its 
own abstraction, so someone can write his own driver.

Currently I keep the original files but can't be downloaded, maybe this can be 
done as some way of “archive feature”, turned on/off in the configuration. 
Since in large installations keeping original files soon fills disk space.

As soon I made made some usable GUI will will move it into incubator and 
continue developer in there.
