First you have to download all the required files which can be found here
FFMPEG
click to download
(download the zip,rar or 7z extension file)
MENCODER
click here to download
(download the zip,rar or 7z extension file)
CODECS FOR MPLAYER
click here to download
(download the zip,rar or 7z extension file)
PHP-FFMPEG
click here to download
(download the zip,rar or 7z extension file. this will not work on php 5.3)
extract all the files you have download in separate folders in a temp directory.
1) copy ffmpeg to c:\ffmpeg (you can choose any path)
2) copy mencoder to c:\mencoder (you can choose any path)
3) copy mplayer codecs in c:\mencoder\codecs (all the codecs should be in that codecs folder of mencoder)
4) copy all php-ffmpeg to windows\system32 and php\ext (extension folder)
5) open php.ini and add extension=php_ffmpeg.dll (to locate php.ini file loaded make a temp php file and put run that file in the webserver and look for php.ini file)
6) restart web server and thats it.

You really outdid yourself this post. Great work
Good morning, I found this blog once, then lost it. Took me forever to come back and find it. I wanted to see what comments you got. Great blog by the way.
I’ve just stumbled upon your site while searching for a tutorial on an related subject. Glad I did too. There’s a lot I like. Anyway, you’ve been bookmarked and I’ll be back soon.
I ended up on this place a little while back and I absolutely cannot get enough! Please keep writing!
Thanks for the absorbing read! Alright playtime is over and back to school work.
I’m trying to install MEncoder for use in dealing with video files in Windows XP. Trying to re-combine (mux?) an audio file and a video file that I took apart with ProjectX. I’m lost here – the blend of linux stuff, which looks vaguely like old DOS stuff ,and command-line stuff is beyond me. I’m trying to follow instructions but I am darned ignorant of these items.
Re Step 3, the MEncoder/codecs folder is empty. What should I do?
The CODECS FOR MPLAYER download is Windows essentials…a lot of stuff. Where does it go to?
Re step 4, there are 3 php download files….suggestions on which to use?
Also step 4, and 5 – I don’t have a php file in my C Drive. What to do?
Thanks!
