Summary
download and install:
libffac
libffad2
xvid
libogg,libvorbis
mp3lame
ffmpeg

Setting Up Install Folder, Logging and download Packages
1)Log into ssh
2) cd /usr/src && mkdir install && cd install
3) Download faad2 and faac
from http://faac.sourceforge.net/oldsite/download.php get Faad2 and faac (new versions)

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/faac/faad2-2.0.tar.gz?download
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/faac/faac-1.24.tar.gz?download

4) Verify that you have these components are installed
rpm -qa automake
rpm -qa autoconf
rpm -qa libtool
rpm -qa m4
rpm -qa gcc-c++

If any are missing than simply yum install (packagename), if you dont have a package manager than get one, it will save you alot of time
and headaches.

Installing Faac
5)tar -zxvf faac-1.24.tar.gz && cd faac
6) sh bootstrap
7) ./configure
8) make
9) make install
10) cd ..

Installing Faad2
11) tar -zxvf faad2-2.0.tar.gz
12) cd faad2 && less README.linux
13) There is 2 bugs with this package, so need to manually edit these files
14) nano Makefile.am
Edit the file to look like this
SUBDIRS = libfaad common frontend plugins
EXTRA_DIST = faad2.spec

15) cd common/mp4ff && nano mp4ffint.h
16) Comment out this line
//void mp4ff_track_add(mp4ff_t *f);

17)Save file and cd ../..
18)autoreconf -vif
19) ./configure
20) make
21) make install

Installing Libogg and Libvorbis
22)cd .. and then Check to see if libogg and libvorbs
rpm -qa libogg-devel
rpm -qa libvorbis-devel
rpm -qa libncurses-devel

If not installed then simply Package Install (replace yum and install settings with your package manager)
yum install libogg-devel
yum install libvorbis-devel
yum install libncurses-devel

Installing LAME (for audio)
23)go into lame sourceforge - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=290&package_id=309
24)wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/lame/lame-3.97.tar.gz
25)tar -zxvf lame-3.97.tar.gz
26)cd lame*
27) ./configure; make;make install

Installing Xvid
28) cd .. && wget http://downloads.xvid.org/downloads/xvidcore-1.1.2.tar.gz
29)tar -zxvf xvidcore-1.1.2.tar.gz && cd xvid*/build/generic/
30) ./configure; make; make install;
31) cd ../../..

Installing ffmpeg
32) rpm -q subversion If not install, then install subversion
33)svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg && cd ffmpeg
34) ./configure --enable-shared --enable-xvid --enable-vorbis --enable-libogg --enable-mp3lame --enable-gpl --enable-faad --enable-faac --enable-a52
35)make
36)make install

If Installation went ok, run
ldd ./ffmpeg
If Path to Lib Libraries are not ok

37)Check to see if /usr/local/lib exists on this file
cat /etc/ld.so.conf

If not
echo /usr/local/lib >>/etc/ld.so.conf

38) cat/etc/ld.so.conf Now check to see if (/usr/local/lib exist)
39) save file
40) ldconfig
41) run ldd ./ffmpeg

FFmpeg should be complete and installed. On some servers you may need to add Disable Shared and enable flags.

Very nice.
I will be installing this pretty soon.

New Version, improved some of the writing.
I've been doing many ffmpeg installations and made some adjustments.

Estimated time to install is less than 20 minutes if everything runs smoothly. Which it hardly ever does. My record is 16 minutes.

I will try to keep this up2date at

im stuck on this part:

Installing ffmpeg
32) rpm -q subversion If not install, then install subversion
33)svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg && cd ffmpeg
34) ./configure --enable-shared --enable-xvid --enable-vorbis --enable-libogg --enable-mp3lame --enable-gpl --enable-faad --enable-faac --enable-a52

root@server [~]# rpm -q subversion
package subversion is not installed
root@server [~]# svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg && cd ffmpeg
-bash: svn: command not found
root@server [~]#

I suggest to either install subversion via source, or ffmpeg via source, it wont make much difference.

once you have tar zxvf the .bz2 ffmpeg package, then just run the configure lines.

Also when I have some more time, I will write more info about how to install and with 3gp support.

can you tell me how to install 3gp support

Yes I have a new guide to install with 3gp support and x264, along with installing ffmpeg on Dreamhost, will rewrite these guides very soon.

Theres also some editing that needs to be done for the guide above to make it work on some servers.

Hi I am having trouble making a directory in SSH bash

nothing I do seems to work - it won't allow it

Help is very much appreciated. Thanks

there is a better install how-to on http://forums.theplanet.com go to the How-to section. it worked for me.

HI, R U STILL HAVING THAT PROBLEM?
TRY LOGING AS "ROOT" IF U HAVNT.

IF YOU HAVE ISTALLED FFMPEG, THEN I WOULD REALLY APRECIATE YOUR HELP ANSWERING ONE QUESTION FOR ME.

LET ME KNW
THANX

HI.

As soon as i run the step 34 ./congifure i got this error in SSH:

Unable to create and execute files in /tmp. Set the TMPDIR environment
variable to another directory and make sure that /tmp is not mounted
noexec.
Sanity test failed.
If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from SVN. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-devel@mplayerhq.hu mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "config.err" produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.


Please show me how to fix this so that i can go to next step.

For anyone having problems with faac and faad2, these older versions should work nicely:

wget http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/faac/faac-1.24.tar.gz
tar zxvf faac-1.24.tar.gz
cd faac
chmod 777 bootstrap
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make install
cd ../
make install
cd ../
rm -rf faac

wget http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/faac/faad2-2.0-rc3.tar.gz
tar zxvf faad2-2.0-rc3.tar.gz
cd faad2
chmod 777 bootstrap
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make install
cd ../
rm -rf faad2

Hi
I followed your instructions for the ffmpeg only
I got this reply
# ldd ./ffmpeg
libavformat.so.51 => not found
libavcodec.so.51 => not found
libavutil.so.49 => not found
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb7fbb000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7e8f000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fe8000)

I am just stuck. Is the ffmpeg installed on the server?

Or I have to do it again.

Is installing ffmpeg enough to convert files of other formats to .flv by using php?

Regards
Alpine

You can set up ffmpeg now in less than 5 minutes, check out this guide we wrote yesterday.

Cool, thanks for the link...

how can i fix that?, sorry this is my first time.

Here is another HOWTO for those in a hurry (works on RH and CentOS):
1. Configure Dag Wieers's RPM repository as explained here (http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#B2).
2. Run

yum install ffmpeg

That's it :)

That's it :)

That does about 1/2 the job, and relies on RPMS. The more efficient way to do this is to compile things as they are constantly updated. There's a few pretty good tutorials out there, but nothing great, as most of this stuff is months old.

I'm in the process of working on a live script that will allow users to just change version numbers, not sure how I'll release it quite yet, but we'll see.

yum install ffmpeg will install 'ffmpeg', but nothing more. It won't get the required codecs, it won't get the php stuff, mplayer stuff, and other required materials for running php based sites (such as clipshare)

I am not quite sure what you mean by "more efficient way to do this", certainly, not the amount of time spent on the installation ;)

I also wonder whether you actually took the time to check Dag's repository or at the very least tried to do "yum install ffmpeg" and see what gets installed (last time I checked it, there were 16 packages or so in total).

Of course, compiling from sources gives you more control, but I don't think everyone wants or needs more control, some people just want to get started... the easy way :)

Here's a quicker way to install much of the optional libs for ffmpeg and mplayer:

Step 1: Install Yum (redhat based distro) / apt-get (debian based distro)

Step 2: Add the multimedia repos for your OS

example on Ubuntu dapper:


Step 3:
On debian based distros do:

apt-get install libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libtheora-dev libfaad2-dev libfaac-dev liblame-dev libdca-dev liba52-0.7.4-dev libxvidcore4-dev x264-dev libgsm1-dev libjpeg62-dev libdc1394-dev libimlib2-dev

On redhat based distros do:

yum install libogg-devel libvorbis-devel libtheora-devel faad2-devel faac-devel lame-devel libdca-devel a52dec-devel xvidcore-devel x264-devel libgsm1-devel libjpeg62-dev libdc1394-devel libimlib2-dev

Step 4: REMOVE multimedia repos as they contain unstable packages and you don't want to update your OS with them
You now only need to install amr-nb and amr-wb from source.
After which you can compile ffmpeg with 3GP support with this:

cd ffmpeg \
&& mkdir working \
&& cd working \
&& wget 3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/26_series/26.104/26104-510.zip \
&& wget 3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/26_series/26.204/26204-510.zip \
&& unzip -q 26104-510.zip \
&& unzip -q 26204-510.zip \
&& cd .. \
&& mkdir libavcodec/amr_float \
&& mkdir libavcodec/amrwb_float \
&& cd libavcodec/amr_float \
&& unzip -q ../../working/26104-510_ANSI_C_source_code.zip \
&& cd ../amrwb_float \
&& unzip -q ../../working/26204-510_ANSI-C_source_code.zip \
&& cd ../../ && ./configure --enable-shared --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-pthreads \
--enable-liba52 --enable-liba52bin \
--enable-libamr-nb --enable-libamr-wb --enable-libdc1394 \
--enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaadbin \
--enable-libmp3lame --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis \
--enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid \
&& make && make install && ldconfig && cd ..

This ffmpeg is ultimate. It supports every single codec possible at the moment by ffmpeg.

thanks for the tutorial

See that 'shared' is enabled, I don't understand why I got that error. Anyone could help me out? pls

thanks

--enable-shared instead of -enable-shared same applies for the other options you supplied.

thanks! that helps me resolve the problem I had. However, I got a new problem when trying to install ffmpeg-php.

I followed this tutorial to install ffmpeg-php: http://www.hostgeekz.com/guides/Other/71/Install_FFmpeg-PHP.htm

The output for 'php -i | grep ffmpeg' is:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/ffmpeg.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/ffmpeg.so: undefined symbol: av_free_static in Unknown on line 0
PWD => /usr/src/install/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0
_SERVER["PWD"] => /usr/src/install/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0
_ENV["PWD"] => /usr/src/install/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0


When I 'make test' of the ffmpeg-php package, I got these failed errors:
