Note Submitter: Max_R ---- Just a small notice, when running PHP under MS Windows some external command-line utilities (like 'ffmpeg.exe') output all info to stderr instead of stdout. In my case it caused apache error.log overfilling with lots of unsolicited records. It has just taken some time for me to make the utility silent: Simply add ">NUL 2>&1" to the very end of your command line. It makes cmd.exe to redirect stderr to stdout and then, in one's turn, redirect stdout to NULL. Hope this tip will save some time when dealing with such utilities.
