FFmpeg on Debian

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

FFmpeg Wrapper: Auto Configuration

The power and flexibility of FFmpeg is a strength and a weakness. While it provides a huge number of options, it’s easy to create a configuration that actually doesn’t work. Case in point has been my experience with Media Mover- the most common thing that people want to use it for is creating FLV files from a variety of source material.
