Description:

ffmpeg-php is an extension for PHP that adds an easy to use,
object-oriented API for accessing and retrieving information from
movies and audio files. It has methods for returning frames from
movie files as images that can be manipulated using PHP's image
functions. This works well for automatically creating thumbnail
images from movie files, and it's fast enough to extract
thumbnails on the fly so that thumbnail images don't need to be
stored. ffmpeg-php is also useful for reporting the duration and
bitrate of audio files (mp3, wma...). ffmpeg-php can access many
of the video formats supported by ffmpeg (mov, avi, mpg, wmv...)
