I am currently running a rather nice bunch of BOA instances on lots of high performing SuperMicro blade servers and VMWare ESXi 5.0 and decided it was time to push things by running FFMPEG on each BOA instance. I found right away, in order to get the module media_ffmpeg_simple working, I had to change a line in the php.ini file and remove popen (see comments over in media_ffmpeg_simple http://drupal.org/node/1389298) from the disable_function list of items...
My question is; are there any security concerns or even better performing ways to accomplish ffmpeg based encoding in BOA on Ubuntu 10.04? All of the BOA instances are not shared and are dedicated to different users and projects.
Peace,
Michael

Please open a bug report or
Please open a bug report or feature request. We don't block exec() and proc_open() so blocking just popen() doesn't make any sense anyway.
Note also that there is already optional support for FFmpeg added in BOA head: http://drupal.org/node/1540242
