Good day,

I am trying to install the .dll file php_ffmpeg on my windows 7 machine, and I keep getting this error:

[29-Jan-2013 11:37:00 UTC] PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/ext/php_ffmpeg.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

 in Unknown on line 0

Please help, I have tried to follow some online tutorials and they all come to a screaming halt in this stage..

    Make sure, you've downloaded correct version (built for windows, x86 or x64 (depends on your needs) and so on). – Leri Jan 29 '13 at 12:05
  • okey, fair enough.. the question then would be, where do I find that correct version to install? because even the one I have (ffmpeg) does not specify which version it is.I was following this tutorial: http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,70245 – mzimhle Jan 29 '13 at 12:14
  • I think you should download the version which matches the bitness of PHP, not that of Windows (e.g. if you have x86 PHP on x64 windows use the x86 version of ffmpeg DLL). – Purple Coder Jan 29 '13 at 12:28
  • Cool, actually my pc is x64 bit, and php is also "Architecture x64" when i check the phpinfo() function, for that do you know where I can download a 64 bit php_ffmpeg.dll file? – mzimhle Jan 29 '13 at 12:37

    also, isn't there a TS (thread safe) and NTS version usually? as well as v6 and v9? – mark Jan 29 '13 at 13:25
  • I have been trying to look for something like that @mark but to no success, do you have a link i can use? – mzimhle Jan 30 '13 at 07:49
  • that one answer here seems to be working (confirmed by at least one other person): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5977448/install-ffmpeg-on-xampp – mark Jan 30 '13 at 10:40
