I'm actually just trying to get a listing of video information onto a page, it's supposed to be just "ffmpeg -i file.flv" but I think that is only for ssh? I need something like:

print exec("ffmpeg -i file.flv");

But that doesn't work, I do have this:

print exec("mplayer -identify file.flv -ao null -vo null -frames 0 2>/dev/null | grep ^ID_");

But it will only print 1 value that I specify and not all the information.

print shell_exec("ffmpeg -i file.flv 2>&1");

Is there anything more structured? I don't think something like that would look the same on every server no?

i use the system("ffmpeg -i file.mp4")

the ffmpeg-php extension is pretty usefull for stuff like this. Lets you grab specific attributes such as video bitrate, audio bitrate, framerate etc..

I was hoping there was a way to have the info placed into an array or something, but I guess I can just grab text from that info and make my own.
