Install FFmpeg on Ubuntu

Actually it is very easy to install FFmpeg under Ubuntu with the apt-get command. Unfortunately, the default FFmpeg installation doesn't let you include the latest codecs which are needed by Razuna. Thus you have to compile FFmpeg yourself. Just follow the steps below. It is very easy!

Install the Dependencies

Uninstall x264, libx264-dev, and ffmpeg if they are already installed.

Next, get all of the packages you will need to install FFmpeg and x264 (you may need to enable the universe and multiverse repositories):

sudo apt-get update

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion git-core checkinstall texi2html \

libfaac-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libsdl1.2-dev libtheora-dev \

libvorbis-dev libx11-dev libxfixes-dev libxvidcore-dev zlib1g-dev libavcodec-dev

Ubuntu 9.10

sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion git-core checkinstall yasm texi2html \

libfaac-dev libmp3lame-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libsdl1.2-dev \

libvorbis-dev libx11-dev libxfixes-dev libxvidcore-dev zlib1g-dev libavcodec-unstripped-52

Install x264

Get the most current source files, compile, and install. You can run "./configure --help" to see what additional features you can enable/disable.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

cd

git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git

cd x264

./configure --enable-static--disable-opencl

make

sudo checkinstall --pkgname=x264 --default--pkgversion="3:$(./version.sh | \

awk -F'[" ]''/POINT/{print $4"+git"$5}')" --backup=no --deldoc=yes

Ubuntu 9.10

cd

git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git

cd x264

./configure

make

sudo checkinstall --pkgname=x264 --pkgversion "1:0.svn`date +%Y%m%d`+`git rev-list HEAD -n 1 | head -c 7`"--backup=no --default

Troubleshooting

If the configure complains about nasm requiring version 1.x, then you need to download and build yasm with the latest build. Follow these intsructions to do so (each line is a command!):

sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall

sudo apt-get build-dep yasm

wget http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-1.2.0.tar.gz && \

tar -xf yasm-1.2.0.tar.gz && cd yasm-1.2.0&& ./configure

make

sudo checkinstall --pakdir "$HOME/Desktop"--pkgname yasm --pkgversion 1.2.0\

--backup=no --default

Now try to configure X264 again.

Install libvpx

This is used to encode and decode VP8 video (WebM).

cd

git clone http://git.chromium.org/webm/libvpx.git

cd libvpx

./configure

make

sudo checkinstall --pkgname=libvpx --pkgversion="`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`-git"--backup=no \

--default--deldoc=yes

Install lame

Used for MP3.

sudo apt-get remove libmp3lame-dev

sudo apt-get install nasm

cd

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lame/lame/3.98.4/lame-3.98.4.tar.gz

tar xzvf lame-3.98.4.tar.gz

cd lame-3.98.4

./configure --enable-nasm --disable-shared

make

sudo checkinstall --pkgname=lame-ffmpeg --pkgversion="3.98.4"--backup=no --default--deldoc=yes

Install libtheora (only needed on Ubuntu 9.10)

This is used to encode to Theora, the video type usually found in OGG/OGV files. The repository libtheora is too old, so it must be compiled.

sudo apt-get install libogg-dev

cd

wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/theora/libtheora-1.1.1.tar.gz

tar xzvf libtheora-1.1.1.tar.gz

cd libtheora-1.1.1

./configure --disable-shared

make

sudo checkinstall --pkgname=libtheora --pkgversion "1.1.1"--backup=no --default

Install FFMpeg

Get the most current source files from the official FFmpeg SVN, compile, and install.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

cd

git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git

cd ffmpeg

git checkout release/2.0

./configure --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc \

--enable-libfaac --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb \

--enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid \

--enable-x11grab --enable-libvpx --enable-libmp3lame

make

sudo checkinstall --pkgname=ffmpeg --pkgversion="5:$(./version.sh)"--backup=no \

--deldoc=yes --default

hash x264 ffmpeg ffplay ffprobe

Ubuntu 9.10

cd

git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git

cd ffmpeg

git checkout release/2.0

./configure --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-x11grab

make

sudo checkinstall --pkgname=ffmpeg --pkgversion "4:0.5+svn`date +%Y%m%d`"--backup=no --default

hash x264 ffmpeg ffplay

Updating FFmpeg and x264

Development of FFmpeg and x264 is active and an occasional update can give you new features and bug fixes. To update FFmpeg and x264 you will need to remove the packages, make distclean, update the source, recompile, and install.

To update x264:

sudo apt-get remove ffmpeg x264 libx264-dev libvpx

cd ~/x264

make distclean

git pull

Now compile x264 as shown earlier in the guide starting with the x264 ./configure line. You can update libvpx if you installed that too:

cd ~/libvpx

make clean

git pull

Now continue with the installation starting with the libvpx ./configure line. Now update FFmpeg:

cd ~/ffmpeg

make distclean

git pull

Finish the installation starting with the FFmpeg ./configure line from above.
