2007-01-07 Thread Casey Chu

Hello. Is there a way to manipulate WMV files with PHP? I need to do
so with an include().

the mind boggles as to what the correlation is between needing to
manipulate a file and having to use include.

with regard to file manipulation - a file is a file is a file, if
you can read from it and write to it then you can manipulate... undoubtedly
that's not very helpful.

try explaining what it is that you want to do with the WMV, there may be
a way to do it.

Okay, sorry if I wasn't clear. I need to get frames from a WMV
dynamically with PHP. If the way to do is not a native PHP function, I
need to use an include() to get the functions because I can't use
extensions.

extracting frames from a video file/stream is not quite at the same level
of complexity as say extract a substring from a string - if you get my point.

you will need to have the ffmpeg program available on your system, get your
sys admin to install if it's not there.

doing a quick search I found the following class which acts as a wrapper to
the ffmpeg command line program (and as the blurb mentions doesn't require
recompiling php or loading extensions):

https://trac.phpgraphy.org/trac/browser/phpgraphy/trunk/base/include/yorsh-ffmpeg-wrapper.class.php?rev=367

there are probably other similar bits of code out and about if you do
a thorough search.

no doubt there are alternative programs that do what ffmpeg does but ffmepg
is the only [free] one I could think of right now.
