Package php5-ffmpeg: Information

ffmpeg-php is an extension for PHP that adds an easy to use, object-oriented
API for accessing and retrieving information from video and audio files.  It
has methods  for returning  frames from  movie files  as images that  can be
manipulated using PHP's  image functions.  This works well for automatically
creating thumbnail images from movies.
ffmpeg-php is also useful for reporting the duration and bitrate of audio
files (mp3, wma...). It can access many of the video formats supported by
ffmpeg (mov, avi, mpg, wmv...)
