Install:
unzip it to a folder on your computer. that´s all!


This is how I use ffmpeg and PHP


<?php

// movie.avi.... name of the movie you want to take a screenshot from
// 00:00:00.... Where in the movie do you wanna take your screenshot, 10 seconds from start? ex: 00:00:10
// picname..... name your generated pic

exec("START c:/ffmpeg/ffmpeg -vcodec png -i movie.avi -ss 00:00:00 -vframes frames picname%d.png");

?>
