FFMPEG analogue for PHP?

Question

PHP

You need to use PHP to extract a screenshot from the video, and for example, find out the duration of the video.
Wanted to take FFMPEG. Yes, to put it ... So many dependencies.
// Not necessarily a PHP permission. It is possible something console (the server on a debian)
Is that? I, apart from how to pull a screenshot from a video (mp4, 3gp) and find out its duration, the bitrate is not necessary.

Answer 1

exec('ffmpeg ...');
This approach is better than using extensions due to reliability: the error will not result in a segmentation fault.
