Sodobni-mediji.si's method worked, but some things need to be clarified.

  1. unzip
  2. copy ffmpeg.exe somewhere and remember the path for later use
  3. move php_ffmpeg.dll to php extension dir (usually c:\xampp\php\ext)
  4. move all other files to Windows\System32 (except COPYING.GPLv3.txt, readme.txt)
  5. add extension=php_ffmpeg.dll to php.ini (usually c:\xampp\php\php.ini)
  6. restart apache with fingers crossed

If you are using windows 64bit, you will also need to to copy all of those dll files to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 along with C:\Windows\System32.

You will probably have problems with toGdImage(), I have no idea how to fix this...


Go to apachefriends.org You will find a link to ffmpeg 0.6.0 for php 5.3.1 there.

  1. Copy php_ffmpeg.dll to xampp\php\ext.
  2. Copy ffmpeg.exe into root of your site or anywhere else as long you know where (you will have to define path to it in your php file)...
  3. Copy everything else to windows/system32.
  4. Add "extension=php_ffmpeg.dll" or remove ";" on the beginning of that line in php.ini file (xampp\php\php.ini )
  5. Restart apache server... and voila :)

It worked for me on PHP 5.3.1 and 5.3.5 :) I found this on apachefriends.org

Good luck :)
