well, my typical usecase of PHP is "everything where i need structure,
object orientanted programming and easy reuse" for 17 years now

IMHO the real problem is the existence of the article at all because it
answers the wrong questions - the right one is "ok, there is a cli tool,
it has this params, well, how do i nicely code a php wrapper for my
needs" and for that you don#t need anything else then "ffmpeg --help"
and "man ffmpeg"

again:
* ffmpeg don't care from were it get called
* bash, php, python... don't care what system binary they call

and if someone don't get these basics he has a hard need to realize them
*before* even consider typing any sort of code
