What considerations should be taken into account when working with different video formats in PHP?

When working with different video formats in PHP, it is important to consider the compatibility of the formats with the functions or libraries being used. Additionally, the file size and encoding of the videos should be taken into account to ensure efficient processing. It may be necessary to use external libraries or tools to convert between different video formats if needed. 

// Example code snippet using FFmpeg to convert a video file to a different format
$ffmpegPath = '/usr/bin/ffmpeg';
$inputFile = 'input.mp4';
$outputFile = 'output.avi';

exec("$ffmpegPath -i $inputFile $outputFile");
