compile

I wrote about installing FFmpeg on Debian machines a while back but times have changed and it's time to go through the process again.

Currently I'm running Debian stable which has fewer of the libraries that are needed to get FFmpeg going. To make life easier, I added the multimedia repository to my install following the rather easy instructions.


wget http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/debian-multimedia-keyring/debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb
sudo echo -e "\r\n# Multimedia \r\ndeb http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list


Now we need to update our packages list
