Cannot upload video

I have a dolphin 7.0.9 website and I am trying to figure out why I cannot no longer upload a mp4 video or a flv file video without having this error message:

Warning: popen() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/twinks/public_html/flash/modules/video/inc/functions.inc.php on line 203

What is this and how to fix it?

popen() is a php function.  It has been disabled by someone; if you are using a hosting company, then my guess is they have disabled it if you have not made any changes.

The popen() function opens a process by creating a pipe, forking, and invoking the shell. Since a pipe is by definition unidirectional, the type argument may specify only reading or writing, not both; the resulting stream is correspondingly read-only or write-only.

resource popen ( string $command , string $mode )

Opens a pipe to a process executed by forking the command given by command.

 Sounds like something I do when camping.
