What are some potential solutions for accessing Exif data from AVCHD video files in PHP, considering the limitations of existing PHP extensions?

The issue is that existing PHP extensions do not natively support accessing Exif data from AVCHD video files. One potential solution is to use a third-party library or tool that can extract Exif data from AVCHD files and then integrate it with PHP. 

// Example using exiftool to extract Exif data from AVCHD video file
$videoFilePath = 'path/to/your/video.mts';
$exifData = shell_exec("exiftool -j $videoFilePath");

// Parse the JSON output
$exifDataArray = json_decode($exifData, true);

// Access specific Exif data
echo $exifDataArray[0]['DateTimeOriginal'];
