This project was originally released on sourceforge.net. This distribution includes patches by TownNews, tony2001 and Jan-E throughout the years to keep the extension operational.

It previously only worked with FFMPEG 1.2.12 or older but has been modified so that it compiles now against newer versions. This extension has been tested (on Windows) with FFmpeg 3.2.18 against:

• PHP 7.0.33 up until PHP 7.4.30
• PHP 8.0.20 and PHP 8.1.7

There is a separate branch for PHP 5.3 up until PHP 5.6, tested against all Windows x86 and x64 versions (even PHP 5.3 x64).
