View source for Fixed FFmpeg packages (codecs) in Ubuntu Jaunty

Certain codecs are not activated in FFmpeg in Ubuntu Jaunty (Note: ffmpeg is a command line tool to convert one video file format to another).

*To install a 'fixed' version of ffmpeg for Ubuntu Jaunty:
<pre>
sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg x264 libx264-dev
</pre>
*And then install these packages to resolve dependencies:
<pre>
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential libfaac-dev libfaad-dev libmp3lame-dev libtheora-dev libxvidcore4-dev
</pre>
*Then download and install: [http://drop.io/pno5atn ffmpeg and x264] for Ubuntu Jaunty (download both packages - x86 only). If the download does not work for some reason, see the credits at the bottom of the post -> you will find more download links there.
