Visit http://myownhomeserver.com for needed files and additional details. This tutorial shows how to install ffmpeg-php for PHP 5.4 VC9. I'm using Windows 8 and XAMPP 1.8.1 for the setup, but it should work just fine with any version of Windows such as Windows 7, Windows Vista, etc. and any version of XAMPP with PHP 5.4.The needed php_ffmpeg files for this tutorial can be downloaded from my website.
