'installing ffmpeg on hosting that a person doesnt have full control of?+

I am wanting to use ffmpeg on my site, but my hoster is infinityfree. It comes with Softalicious Apps Installer, but it doesn't have ffmpregg. Can I install it somehow? Can I get the binaries and copy them to a folder in the domain? Can I install it on WAMP, then copy the binaries over? (Install WAMP, install ffmpeg, then copy the binaries?). I don't use home hosting cause I only have 1 GB of free storage left, but with infinityfree, you get Unlimited.

Given your status, I would suggest getting an AWS account with their 12-month free tier offerings: https://aws.amazon.com/free

Launch a free Linux EC2 server, and put anything you want on it, including ffmpeg and WAMP. You can even put your database on a separate free server (up to 20gb). Then point your domain to it, and you’re set...at least for a year.
