Which part of 'I would not recommend ffmpeg-php' escaped your attention? >> There is e new PHP extension which uses FFmpeg: php-av. >> Documentation: https://github.com/chung-leong/av/wiki > >and what can that stuff do? >nothing! I have never used php-av, so I cannot really comment on that. I just wanted to point out there is a new kid on the block. FYI: I am still using ffmpeg-php, for 2 purposes. FFmpeg-php is by far the easiest way to make a thumbnail of a frame in a videofile. All other methods I know of use calls to the OS. That is much more a security risk than using even an old ffmpeg-php. The other purpose is that I use ffmpeg-php to determine if a video is 4:3 or 16:9. Once again without system calls. Making thumbnails can be done by php-av's 'av_stream_read_image': https://github.com/chung-leong/av/wiki/av_stream_read_image And geting the dimensions of a videofile by 'av_file_stat': https://github.com/chung-leong/av/wiki/av_file_stat I guess that the very limited functionality of ffmpeg-php is completely covered by php-av. There may come a time when I will switch from php-ffmpeg to php-av.
