With the help of this guide, I am trying to install ffmpeg using these commands:

 # cd ffmpeg-php/branches/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php-0.6.1/
 # replace 'PIX_FMT_RGBA32' 'PIX_FMT_RGB32' -- *
 # phpize 
 # ./configure --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local/cpffmpeg
 # make 
 # make install

But when I run this replace 'PIX_FMT_RGBA32' 'PIX_FMT_RGB32' -- * I get this error:

replace: Error reading file 'autom4te.cache' (Errcode: 21) replace: Error reading file 'build' (Errcode: 21) ffmpeg_frame.c converted replace: Error reading file 'include' (Errcode: 21) replace: Error reading file 'modules' (Errcode: 21) replace: Error reading file 'tests' (Errcode: 21)

And when I run make and skip that line I get:

/root/ffmpeg-php/branches/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php-0.6.1/ffmpeg-php.c:171: error: expected '{' at end of input
make: *** [ffmpeg-php.lo] Error 1

Any ideas?

Probably, you would need to edit the only one file i.e. ffmpeg_frame.c

replace 'PIX_FMT_RGBA32' 'PIX_FMT_RGB32' -- ffmpeg_frame.c
./configure
make
make install

This should install ffmpeg-php on the server - you will need to add the ffmpeg.so file to your php.ini file like:

extension=ffmpeg.so

Restart Apache on the server once the extension is added.

The errors from replace are harmless, it's just telling you (cryptically) that these files are directories and it can't act on them.

But you do need to run phpize and ./configure … before you can run make.

Can't you use yum?

On Ubuntu doing aptitude install php5-ffmpeg seems to automatically install ffmpeg and all it's dependencies. Perhaps the same package is available for CentOS?
