PHP Video Toolkit wraps around FFmpeg, FLVTools2 and Mencoder applications. It also currently provides FFmpeg-PHP emulation in pure PHP, making compiling and installing the module unnecessary. It isn't intended as a FFmpeg-PHP replacement, but only as an alternative solution. It is recommended, if heavy use of the FFmpeg-PHP functionality is required, to install the module, as it is more efficient.

PHP Video Toolkit performs several types of manipulation operations that include video format conversion, extract video frames into separate image files, assemble a video stream from a set of separate video images, extract audio from video, watermark videos and extracted frames.

Several parameters can also be configured like the output video file format (which can be Flash video or any other supported by ffmpeg), video and audio bit rate and sample rate, video dimensions and aspect ratio.

PHP Video Toolkit can also retrieve information about the media file, such as duration, bitrate, framerate, format, dimensions, display aspect ratio, pixel aspect ratio, audio stereo, audio frequency and audio format, without any other additional library such as ffmpeg-php.

Requirements:
PHP 5.0 or higher
