How to read information from .3gp and .mp4 using ffmpeg-php?
I have a problem with ffmpeg-php. I'm trying to get some information from video files and it works fine with file formats like .avi, .mpg, or .flv, but when I try to use .3gp or .mp4 in:
$movie = new ffmpeg_movie('path/to/file/test.3gp');
I get an error:
ffmpeg_movie::__construct() []: ISO: File Type Major Brand: 3gp5
or
ffmpeg_movie::__construct() []: ISO: File Type Major Brand: mp42
I installed ffmpeg-php on WAMP using the instructions found here: How to install FFMpeg in WampServer 2.0 (Windows XP)
I need this information to send them to ffmpeg using exec (). Can anyone help me?

When installing the ffmpeg plugin on the server, we basically have the "ffprobe" library. Using ffprobe we can get the details / metadata about the video.
$ffprobe_path="ffprobe"; //path to installation of ffprobe
$video_file="/home/testsite/public_html/videos/mytest_video.mp4"; //path to the specific video file
$ffprobe_cmd=$ffprobe_path." -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams ".$video_file;
$outputprobe = shell_exec($ffprobe_cmd);
$result_video_meta = json_decode($outputprobe);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($result_video_meta);
echo "</pre>";
