This should help you run it directly in php file.

$folder = '/path/to/uploads/folder/';
$filename = 'your_video_file.avi';
$newFilename = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_FILENAME).'.mp4';

exec('/usr/bin/ffmpeg -y -i '.$folder.$filename.' -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags faststart -hide_banner '.$folder.$newFilename.' 2>&1', $out, $res);

if($res != 0) {
    error_log(var_export($out, true));
    error_log(var_export($res, true));

    throw new \Exception("Error!");
}

//This code convert video to mp4 format.
//for that you have to install HandBrakeCLI on your linux server
system("HandBrakeCLI -i ".$currfileName." -o ".$new_convertedvideo.".mp4 -v -m -E aac,ac3 -e x264");

If you are trying this at your server/ not using any online tool. You can use FFmpeg for this. Sample code for conversion:

ffmpeg -i {input}.mov -vcodec h264 -acodec aac -strict -2 {output}.mp4

FFmpeg is most widely used tool for this purpose and you can download the same here.
