I tried first to use the installer of ScriptMantra<\/a> but for some reason there were errors sometimes the Liba52, sometimes the Mplayer were not installed, so I just gave up and used the autoinstaller just to remove all traces of ffmpeg on the server, then I used the yum to install it, it was quicker and everything was installed, lets go step by step then.<\/p>\n

Install ffmpeg, mplayer, mencoder with all supported modules.<\/strong><\/p>\n

# <\/strong>yum -y install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel mplayer mencoder flvtool2<\/p>\n

it will download everything to your server and install it, depending on your server connection to the internet, but on my server it was very quick perhaps 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

Install FFMPEG-PHP<\/strong><\/p>\n

ffmpeg-php is an extension for PHP that adds an easy to use, object-oriented API for accessing and retrieving information from video and audio files. ffmpeg-devel and php-devel is needed to compile ffmpeg-php from source code. Use following steps to install ffmpeg-php<\/p>\n

# cd \/usr\/src
\n# wget http:\/\/downloads.sourceforge.net\/project\/ffmpeg-php\/ffmpeg-php\/0.6.0\/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2?use_mirror=ignum
\n# tar jxvf ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2
\n# cd ffmpeg-php-0.6.0
\n# phpize
\n# .\/configure
\n# make
\n# make install<\/p>\n

It will copy the ffmpeg.so module in php default module location. Now you have to edit php.ini file to enable ffmpeg-php support in it by using ffmpeg.so module.<\/p>\n

Go to your server php.ini normally it should be on \/usr\/local\/lib\u00a0 and add the following line at the bottom:<\/p>\n

extension=ffmpeg.so<\/p>\n

Restart Apache, you can use the WHM\u00a0 or enter the command in shell<\/p>\n

# \/etc\/init.d\/httpd restart<\/p>\n

Now run following command to ffmpeg module listing in php.<\/p>\n

#php -m | grep ffmpeg<\/p>\n

Thats it! Easy no?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
