No exec!

How do I install this?

With Gentoo : emerge ffmpeg-php
Debian : apt-get install php5-ffmpeg

From the website:

Build and install PHP if it is not already installed
Unpack the ffmpeg-php sources

1. tar -xjf ffmpeg-php-X.x.x.tbz2

Change to the ffmpeg-php extension directory and run phpize (included with your PHP installation) to build configuration files. NOTE: if your php installation does not include phpize, you may have to install a php-dev package for your distro (usually named: php-dev, php-devel or similar)

1. cd ffmpeg-php-X.x.x/
2. phpize

Configure and build the extension.

1. ./configure && make

Install the shared extension.

1. sudo make install

If everything went as planned, ffmpeg-php is now installed as a shared extension.

f you've built ffmpeg-php as a shared extension but want to make it available to all scripts by default, add extension=ffmpeg.so to your php.ini file to load ffmpeg-php at PHP startup. Make sure to restart apache when you are done to reload php.ini.
