I used ffmpeg to do all my conversions.

You could make your uploaded video files all go to one central folder. Have a batch file that runs ffmpeg on those files and then move it to the another folder once it is processed.

You could upload your file in whatever format, give it a fake .mp4 file name and just have a message that says "file being processed" in the meantime.

File conversion takes time, and a lot of processing power, be sure to try it locally before even considering making your server do all the work.
