To run ffmpeg command in Laravel on Windows, follow steps:

  1. Download the ffmpeg executable for Windows from the official website: https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows
  2. Extract the ffmpeg executable to a directory, for example C:\ffmpeg\bin
  3. Add the path to the ffmpeg executable to the Windows system PATH environment variable. follow these steps:
    • Press the Windows key and search for "Environment Variables"
    • Click on "Edit the system environment variables"
    • Click on "Environment Variables" button
    • Under "System variables" section, scroll down and find "Path"
    • Click "Edit" and add the path to the ffmpeg executable, for example C:\ffmpeg\bin, at the end of the existing values. Make sure to separate the path with a semicolon ; from the previous value.
  4. In your Laravel project, you can now use the exec() function to execute the ffmpeg command. For example, to convert a video file to MP4 format, you can use the following code:
$inputFile = '/path/to/input/video.avi';
$outputFile = '/path/to/output/video.mp4';
$command = "ffmpeg -i $inputFile $outputFile";
exec($command);

Note : Note: Replace /path/to/input/video.avi and /path/to/output/video.mp4 with the actual file paths on your system.
