Having recently installed Xubuntu Hardy Heron on a laptop, I also
needed to install FFmpeg. This post is really just a couple of notes
for myself, updating my earlier How-To post regarding installation of
FFmpeg on Ubuntu Gutsy.
New apt-get install line:
sudo apt-get install liblame-dev libfaad2-dev libfaac-dev libxvidcore4-dev liba52-0.7.4 liba52-0.7.4-dev libx264-dev libdts-dev libswscale-dev checkinstall build-essential subversion
Here I've added the swscale development libraries. Swscale is used for scaling videos.
If you are ever stuck behind a firewall or proxy, especially one that you have no control over and which does not understand certain SVN commands, there is a nightly Subversion snapshot available for download from the FFmpeg website. This alleviates the need to checkout the source with SVN.
New configure line:
./configure --enable-gpl --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-liba52 --enable-libdc1394 --enable-libgsm --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaac --enable-libxvid --enable-pthreads --enable-libx264 --enable-shared --enable-swscale --enable-avfilter --enable-postproc --enable-avfilter-lavf
Here I've removed --enable-pp as it is no longer recognised. And I've added --enable-swscale, --enable-avfilter, --enable-avfilter-lavf and --enable-postproc
Avfilter is the new FFmpeg library that replaces the deprecated vhook functionality.
One last note to self is to investigate the possibilities of AVIsynth scripting and FFmpeg.
