FFmpegPHP

FFmpegPHP is a pure OO PSR-4 compatible PHP port of ffmpeg-php library (written in C). It adds an easy to use, object-oriented API for accessing and retrieving information from video and audio files. It has methods for returning frames from movie files as images that can be manipulated using PHP image functions. This works well for automatically creating thumbnail images from movies. FFmpegPHP is also useful for reporting the duration and bitrate of audio files (mp3, wma...). FFmpegPHP can access many of the video formats supported by ffmpeg (mov, avi, mpg, wmv...)

Drop-in replacement for ffmpeg-php

FFmpegPHP can be used as a drop in replacement for ffmpeg-php library.

Using FFmpegPHP

Object Oriented interface

FFmpegPHP is build using PSR-4 standard and it's interface is purely Object Oriented. We're using standar OOP patterns to create our API.

use Char0n\FFMpegPHP\Movie;

$movie = new Movie('/path/to/media.mpeg');
$movie->getDuration(); // => 24

Compatibility layer

On top of our OO interface, there is an additional one that provides full compatibility with original ffmpeg-php library.

use Char0n\FFMpegPHP\Adapters\FFMpegMovie as ffmpeg_movie;

$movie = new ffmpeg_movie('/path/to/media.mpeg');
$movie->getDuration(); // => 24
