This is a common error when we hit “php -v” over command line or when we browse a phpinfo.php on a site.

To fix this problem you will need to recompile your ffmpeg-php again.

To fix this:

Go to the source directory ffmpeg-phpXX.XX

#vi ffmpeg-php.c

remove/comment the call to av_free_static()

Save.

Now rebuild ffmpeg-php and place the new ffmpeg.so on your extension directory.
