Introduction to FFmpeg

FFmpeg is a solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It is a very fast video and audio converter and it can also acquire from a live audio/video source. Designed to be intuitive, the command-line interface (ffmpeg) tries to figure out all the parameters, when possible. FFmpeg can also convert from any sample rate to any other, and resize video on the fly with a high quality polyphase filter. FFmpeg can use a video4linux compatible video source and any Open Sound System audio source.

Using a SVN Snapshot

Make sure that you have Subversion installed before issuing the following commands:

svn co svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg

tar cvjf ffmpeg-r$(svnversion ffmpeg).tar.bz2 ffmpeg

Note

The dependencies may differ from one revision to another.

Dependencies

Optional

• libvorbis
• LAME
• Imlib2
• X Window System
• SDL
• FreeType
• MPlayer
• FAAC
• FAAD2
• TeTeX
• Liba52

Configuring

Look at the output of ./configure --help and add the parameters for the optional dependencies you have installed.

A few options you may want to use:

--enable-pp
--enable-liba52
--enable-libfaac
--enable-libfaad
--enable-libmp3lame
--enable-libogg
--enable-libtheora
--enable-libx264
--enable-libxvid
--enable-libvorbis

Non-Multilib

If you are not building a SVN Snapshot apply the following patches:

patch -Np1 -i ../ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1-gcc4-1.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i ../ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1-amr_fixes-1.patch

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared \
    --enable-pthreads --enable-gpl \
    --disable-ffplay &&
make

Install the package

make install

Multilib

N32

If you are not building a SVN Snapshot apply the following patches and sed:

patch -Np1 -i ../ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1-gcc4-1.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i ../ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1-amr_fixes-1.patch &&
sed -i 's:$(prefix)/lib:&32:g' $(grep -lr '$(prefix)/lib' *)

Compile the package:

export USE_ARCH=n32 &&
CFLAGS="${BUILDN32} -fPIC" \
./configure --prefix=/usr --cc="gcc ${BUILD32}" \
    --{,sh}libdir=/usr/lib32 \
    --enable-shared  --enable-pthreads \
