Answer 1

Like @Arfeen mentioned in his answer, you should execute the command with the path of ffmpeg, but, the given path in the answer "/usr/bin/ffmpeg" is not always the same.

First locate your ffmpeg by using the command :

which ffmpeg

The result in my case is :

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

Then go back to your php code and replace "ffmpeg" in the command by the path of ffmpeg (which is /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg in my case).
