Introduction

AV is a new PHP extension that let you make use of functionalities provided by FFmpeg, the popular open source video processing tool. Unlike the existing FFmpeg extension, AV is designed for both decoding and encoding. One of the specific goals of this project is to make creation of video files playable on HTML5-compliant web browsers as easy as possible. Used alongside the GD and QB extensions, AV makes PHP a powerful and flexible platform for authoring multimedia contents.
