An Object Oriented library to convert video/audio files with FFmpeg / AVConv.

Check another amazing repo : [PHP FFMpeg extras](https://github.com/alchemy-fr/PHP-FFMpeg-Extras), you will find lots of Audio/Video formats there.

## Your attention please

This library requires a working FFMpeg install. You will need both FFMpeg and FFProbe binaries to use it.
Be sure that these binaries can be located with system PATH to get the benefit of the binary detection, 
otherwise you should have to explicitely give the binaries path on load.

For Windows users : Please find the binaries at http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/.

## Installation

The recommended way to install PHP-FFMpeg is through [Composer](https://getcomposer.org).

```json
{
    "require": {
        "php-ffmpeg/php-ffmpeg": "0.3.x-dev@dev"
    }
}
```

## Basic Usage

```php
$ffmpeg = FFMpeg\FFMpeg::create();
$video = $ffmpeg->open('video.mpg');
$video
    ->filters()
    ->resize(new FFMpeg\Coordinate\Dimension(320, 240))
    ->synchronize();
$video
    ->frame(FFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode::fromSeconds(10))
    ->save('frame.jpg');
$video
    ->save(new FFMpeg\Format\Video\X264(), 'export-x264.mp4')
    ->save(new FFMpeg\Format\Video\WMV(), 'export-wmv.wmv')
    ->save(new FFMpeg\Format\Video\WebM(), 'export-webm.webm');
```

## Documentation

This documentation is an introduction to discover the API. It's recommended
to browse the source code as it is self-documented.

### FFMpeg

`FFMpeg\FFMpeg` is the main object to use to manipulate medias. To build it,
use the static `FFMpeg\FFMpeg::create` :

```php
$ffmpeg = FFMpeg\FFMpeg::create();
```

FFMpeg will autodetect ffmpeg and ffprobe binaries. If you want to give binary
paths explicitely, you can pass an array as configuration. A `Psr\Logger\LoggerInterface`
can also be passed to log binary executions.

```php
$ffmpeg = FFMpeg\FFMpeg::create(array(
    'ffmpeg.binaries'  => '/opt/local/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg',
    'ffprobe.binaries' => '/opt/local/ffmpeg/bin/ffprobe',
    'timeout'          => 3600, // The timeout for the underlying process
    'ffmpeg.threads'   => 12,   // The number of threads that FFMpeg should use
), $logger);
```

### Manipulate media

`FFMpeg\FFMpeg` creates media based on file paths. To open a file path, use the
`FFMpeg\FFMpeg::open` method.

```php
$ffmpeg->open('video.mpeg');
```

Two types of media can be resolved : `FFMpeg\Media\Audio` and `FFMpeg\Media\Video`.
A third type, `FFMpeg\Media\Frame`, is available through videos.

#### Video

`FFMpeg\Media\Video` can be transcoded, ie : change codec, isolate audio or
video. Frames can be extracted.

##### Transcoding

You can transcode videos using the `FFMpeg\Media\Video:save` method. You will
pass a `FFMpeg\Format\FormatInterface` for that.

```php
$format = new Format\Video\X264();
$format->on('progress', function ($video, $format, $percentage) {
    echo "$percentage % transcoded";
});

$video->save($format, 'video.avi');
```

Transcoding progress can be monitored in realtime, see Format documentation
below for more informations.

##### Extracting image

You can extract a frame at any timecode using the `FFMpeg\Media\Video::frame`
method.

This code return a `FFMpeg\Media\Frame` instance corresponding to the second 42.
You can pass any `FFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode` as argument, see dedicated
documentation below for more information.

```php
$frame = $video->frame(FFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode::fromSeconds(42));
$frame->save('image.jpg');
```

##### Filters

You can apply filters on `FFMpeg\Media\Video` with the `FFMpeg\Media\Video::addFilter`
method. Video accepts Audio and Video filters.

You can build your own filters and some are bundled in PHP-FFMpeg - they are
accessible through the `FFMpeg\Media\Video::filters` method.

Filters are chainable

```php
$video
    ->filters()
    ->resize($dimension, $mode, $useStandards)
    ->framerate($framerate, $gop)
    ->synchronize();
```

###### Resize

Resizes a video to a given size.

```php
$video->filters()->resize($dimension, $mode, $useStandards);
```

The resize filter takes three parameters :

- `$dimension`, an instance of `FFMpeg\Coordinate\Dimension`
- `$mode`, one of the constants `FFMpeg\Filters\Video\ResizeFilter::RESIZEMODE_*` constants
- `$useStandards`, a boolean to force the use of the nearest aspect ratio standard.

###### Framerate

Changes the frame rate of the video.

```php
$video->filters()->framerate($framerate, $gop);
```

The framerate filter takes two parameters :

- `$framerate`, an instance of `FFMpeg\Coordinate\Framerate`
- `$gop`, a [GOP](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_of_pictures) value (integer)

###### Synchronize

Synchronizes audio and video.

Some containers may use a delay that results in desynchronized outputs. This
filters solves this issue.

```php
$video->filters()->synchronize();
```

###### Clip

Cuts the video at a desired point.

```php
$video->filters()->clip(FFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode::fromSeconds(30), FFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode::fromSeconds(15));
```

The clip filter takes two parameters:

- `$start`, an instance of `FFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode`, specifies the start point of the clip
- `$duration`, optional, an instance of `FFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode`, specifies the duration of the clip

#### Audio

`FFMpeg\Media\Audio` can be transcoded, ie : change codec, isolate audio or
video. Frames can be extracted.

##### Transcoding

You can transcode audios using the `FFMpeg\Media\Audio:save` method. You will
pass a `FFMpeg\Format\FormatInterface` for that.

```php
$format = new Format\Audio\Flac();
$format->on('progress', function ($$audio, $format, $percentage) {
    echo "$percentage % transcoded";
});

$audio->save($format, 'track.flac');
```

Transcoding progress can be monitored in realtime, see Format documentation
below for more informations.

##### Filters

You can apply filters on `FFMpeg\Media\Audio` with the `FFMpeg\Media\Audio::addFilter`
method. It only accepts audio filters.

You can build your own filters and some are bundled in PHP-FFMpeg - they are
accessible through the `FFMpeg\Media\Audio::filters` method.

###### Resample

Resamples an audio file.

```php
$audio->filters()->resample($rate);
```

The resample filter takes two parameters :

- `$rate`, a valid audio sample rate value (integer)

#### Frame

A frame is a image at a timecode of a video ; see documentation above about
frame extraction.

You can save frames using the `FFMpeg\Media\Frame::save` method.

```php
$frame->save('target.jpg');
```

This method has a second optional boolean parameter. Set it to true to get
accurate images ; it takes more time to execute.

#### Formats

A format implements `FFMpeg\Format\FormatInterface`. To save to a video file,
use `FFMpeg\Format\VideoInterface`, and `FFMpeg\Format\AudioInterface` for
audio files.

Format can also extends `FFMpeg\Format\ProgressableInterface` to get realtime
informations about the transcoding.

Predefined formats already provide progress informations as events.

```php
$format = new Format\Video\X264();
$format->on('progress', function ($video, $format, $percentage) {
    echo "$percentage % transcoded";
});

$video->save($format, 'video.avi');
```

The callback provided for the event can be any callable.

##### Create your own format

The easiest way to create a format is to extend the abstract
`FFMpeg\Format\Video\DefaultVideo` and `FFMpeg\Format\Audio\DefaultAudio`.
and implement the following methods.

```php
class CustomWMVFormat extends FFMpeg\Format\Video\DefaultVideo
{
    public function __construct($audioCodec = 'wmav2', $videoCodec = 'wmv2')
    {
        $this
            ->setAudioCodec($audioCodec)
            ->setVideoCodec($videoCodec);
    }

    public function supportBFrames()
    {
        return false;
    }

    public function getAvailableAudioCodecs()
    {
        return array('wmav2');
    }

    public function getAvailableVideoCodecs()
    {
        return array('wmv2');
    }
}
```

#### Coordinates

FFMpeg use many units for time and space coordinates.

- `FFMpeg\Coordinate\AspectRatio` represents an aspect ratio.
- `FFMpeg\Coordinate\Dimension` represent a dimension.
- `FFMpeg\Coordinate\FrameRate` represent a framerate.
- `FFMpeg\Coordinate\Point` represent a point.
- `FFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode` represent a timecode.

### FFProbe

`FFMpeg\FFProbe` is used internally by `FFMpeg\FFMpeg` to probe medias. You can
also use it to extract media metadata.

```php
$ffprobe = FFMpeg\FFProbe::create();
$ffprobe
    ->streams('/path/to/video/mp4') // extracts streams informations
    ->videos()                      // filters video streams
    ->first()                       // returns the first video stream
    ->get('duration');              // returns the duration property
```

##Using with Silex Microframework

Service provider is easy to set up :

```php
$app = new Silex\Application();
$app->register(new FFMpeg\FFMpegServiceProvider());

$video = $app['ffmpeg']->open('video.mpeg');
```

Available options are as follow :

```php
$app->register(new FFMpeg\FFMpegServiceProvider(), array(
    'ffmpeg.configuration' => array(
        'ffmpeg.threads'   => 4,
        'ffmpeg.timeout'   => 300,
        'ffmpeg.binaries'  => '/opt/local/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg',
        'ffprobe.timeout'  => 30,
        'ffprobe.binaries' => '/opt/local/ffmpeg/bin/ffprobe',
    ),
    'ffmpeg.logger' => $logger,
));
```
