Setup ffmpeg on CentOS 7

I am developing a PHP application that requires converting mp3 to ogg audio format and this will be run on CentOS 7 Linux distro. The ffmpeg is perfect application to accomplish this task. The following steps are tested running on my Linode server running Centos 7 64-bit.

  1. ffmpeg requires libdc1394-devel and it is available in epel repository. Execute the following command to install epel repository: 
          
rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm

    Note: As of this writing the "http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm" is the latest. If this URL returns 404 error it means that new version is released, you may want to browse "http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/" to look for that new released version.

  2. ffmpeg is available in ATRPMS Repo. The ATRPMS Repo (http://dl.atrpms.net/all/atrpms-repo-6-7.el6.x86_64.rpm) is down, we'll use mirror: 
          
rpm -ivh https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.atrpms.net/el7-x86_64/atrpms/stable/atrpms-repo-7-7.el7.x86_64.rpm
  3. Modify the atrpms.repo to update its baseurl: 
          
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo

    Under [atrpms] change the baseurl and enabled from:

          
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
enabled=1

    ... to:

          
baseurl=https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
enabled=0
  4. Lets install now the ffmpeg by executing: 
          
yum -y --enablerepo=atrpms install ffmpeg
  5. To verify if ffmpeg is already installed: 
          
ffmpeg -version

    or

          
which ffmpeg
  6. To convert mp3 to ogg format, execute the following command: 
          
wget https://ia802508.us.archive.org/5/items/testmp3testfile/mpthreetest.mp3
ffmpeg -i mpthreetest.mp3 -c:a libvorbis -q:a 4 mpthreetest.ogg
  7. There is PHP library available here but for simplicity the following PHP codes will suffice: 
          
function convert_mp3_ogg($mp3file) {
  if (`which ffmpeg`) {
    $oggfile = preg_replace('/\.mp3$/', '.ogg', $mp3file);
    shell_exec("ffmpeg -i $mp3file -c:a libvorbis -q:a 4 $oggfile");
    return TRUE;
  }
  return FALSE;
}

Hello. I'm new to Linux!
I have a CentOS 7, 64-bit, VPS with Apache / MySQL / PHP server on host Ocean Digital.
I followed all the commands according to your article. I used the ATRPMS mirror: https://mirror.its.sfu.ca/mirror/Centos-Third-Party/atrpms/el7-x86_64/stable/atrpms-repo-7-7.el7.x86_64.rpm
I modified the atrpms.repo and updated the baseurl to: baseurl = https: //mirror.its.sfu.ca/mirror/CentOS-Third-Party/atrpms/el$releasever-$basearch/stable
Enabled = 0
Installed FFMPEG without errors. When I make the command (being as ROOT) ffmpeg -version displays the screen:

Ffmpeg version 2.2.1

Libpostproc 52. 3,100 / 52 3,100

So, I congratulate you on the article. Now, how do I install FFMPEG-PHP extension following a compatible way? The version of my PHP is 5.4.16 with Apache version 2.4.6 and MySQL Version: 5.5.50-MariaDB. Please help me!
