Installation help, FFmpeg on windows xampp.

[Temor]

I've looked everywhere but I can't find one guide on how to get the ffmpeg-php extension working on windows xampp.
Does anyone have any experience with ffmpeg on windows?


I'm trying to convert uploaded videos in various formats to .flv for consistency. If anyone have a solution that does not involve ffmpeg I'd appreciate some guidance.

This is sort of php related but not really, therefore it goes in the Other category and not in PHP. Feel free to move if misplaced.

The only way I have done this before is to call the ffmpeg program with shell_exec()

You would probably want to background the process anyway and I don't think the extension can do that.

Oh, okay. I'll just go with linux then.
