Convert from wav to mp4 with a command line program!

Ok...that's what exactly i'm trying to do:
I'm registering my university lessons with a microphon,which give me wav files...Now, i've created a program to organize my lessons and store it on my computer (i used php because i prefer a web interface in this case, is nicer) but actually there is a problem: wav files are big, and 6 hours*8months of lessons is too much in wav...so i need a mp4 conversion.

What i really want to do is so launch a command line tool with php, which genereate an mp4 file (i can also create it if there are some suggestion or a dll which i need) and then i'll move it (still with php) and remove the wav file

Any suggestions to do it?

This is what I am trying to do.
I'm registering my university lessons with a microphone, which gives me WAV files. Iv'e created a program to organize my lessons and store them on my computer (I used php because I prefer a user friendly web based interface). The actual problem is the WAV files are big. 6*8 hours makes the resulting WAV files too large.

What I really want to do is so launch a command line tool with php, which genereates an AAC file (I can also create it if there are some suggestions or a DLL which I may need). I will then proceed to move it with PHP.
Any suggestions on how to do it?


First of all I am not the grammar nazi, but please capitalize your "I" and take some college writing courses for your major (programmers *sigh*  ). Secondly, I think what you are looking for is the Nero AAC command-line encoder.

How are you planning to play these converted files?  Maybe Speex may be a better solution, if your player allows it.
I'm on a horse.

VLC or Quicktime (I hate quicktime but it works well with <embed> tag in html page and mp4 file)

HotshotGG wanna thanks you...
Sorry for my grammar, I wrote the message "in speed" because I was going out...and that's the horrible result I take out of it  (I'm probably still doing horrible mistakes, but at least I understand english when a lot of people can't)...

I'll try nero aac and I'll see what i can do!
Thanks again

Yes please feel free to try Nero and get back to us. Actually I should be the one apologizing. I thought you were already a native English speaker who was rushing the post. I don't want to sound like I am nitpicking, but if you are a web designer outside of your native langauge you are probably going to want to take some more English language courses. Most major websites that I know of are in written English at least with the exception of few here in other languages like Japanese, German, etc.
