Convert video to image sequences

Question

I have developed a html5 app, which one record video around 20 sec in a function. I need to convert this video to image sequences. Then I will display this sequences to my app for further processing. I have a server to upload the videos. I am using php as server scripting language.

Is there any way to convert video to image (any type jpg, gif, png etc...) sequences using php?

Hi, thanks for comment. In that post it was only for preview, but I need image sequences of full video. — Md Sadequr Rahman, Oct 21 '14 at 07:01
It seems you can use ImageMagick to convert videos to images: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/video/ — Pedro Amaral Couto, Oct 27 '14 at 14:22

I can't test it now, but try to use ffmpeg to convert a video to image sequences: How to extract images from a Video using FFmpeg

You'd do something like this:

$command = 'ffmpeg -i '
           . escapeshellarg($videoFilePath)
           . ' -r 1 -f image2 '
           . escapeshellarg($dstDirPath)
           . '/image-%3d.jpeg';
exec($command, $output, $return);

Is shared hosting support ffmpeg? – Md Sadequr Rahman Oct 23 '14 at 03:55
Usually shared hostings don't support ffmpeg, though some support it, such as TMDHosting and Arvixe support it for a low price (4$/month), but maybe you to use it as a web service: http://ffmpeg.io/server (I never used it). – Pedro Amaral Couto Oct 23 '14 at 07:12
