Would it be possible to consider providing an alternative to FFMPEG-PHP for extracting video information from the file? Perhaps the getID3 library? The reason I ask is because I was trying to install FFMPEG-PHP on my server, but since it's a shared resource, I don't have the root access needed to get FFMPEG-PHP compiled properly.

Yes, there are couple of alternatives to ffmpeg. Mencoder is opensourced, and some of companies even provide liscenced services. Youtube, 5min yahoo videos, use On2 flix. Refer http://softwareguy82.blogspot.com/2008/10/server-side-video-conversion-v... to know detailed pro's and con's about such server side video convertes.
