Fixed FFmpeg packages (codecs) in Ubuntu Jaunty
From zen2
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:
sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg x264 libx264-dev
- And then install these packages to resolve dependencies:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential libfaac-dev libfaad-dev libmp3lame-dev libtheora-dev libxvidcore4-dev
- Then download and install: 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.
