Video sites like google video or youtube, people can upload AVI's and other video formats and it will resize them and convert them to FLV format. Is there a PHP script I can use that will do this?

You need to look at the libraries available within PHP for processing video files. If they aren't in the standard libraries, there will be an external library. This is just software, after all.

There's FFMPEG-PHP, but that requires you to compile it and I'm on a shared server, so I don't that would go very well with my provider. Does anybody know an equivalent of that?

There appears to be pre-compiled versions of FFMPEG available at:-
http://worldtv.com/blog/guides_tutorials/flv_converter.php

FFMPEG is open source, though there are plenty of commercial FLV encoders available (Google for "FLV encoder" or "FLV command line encoder").

Once you have the command-line encoder, your PHP script just has to upload the video file and then convert it using the encoder. Just ask if you need a short script to do that.
