Manual FFMPEG installation

To install FFmpeg from source, SSH to the server and run the commands below (in that order). Before you start working on this project, make sure the following binary packages are installed on your server:

gcc, gcc4, gcc4-c++, gcc4-gfortran, gd, gd-devel, gmake, ImageMagick, ImageMagick-devel, libcpp, libgcc, libstdc++, make, ncurses, ncurses-devel, ruby, subversion

If any of these packages are missing, install them using Yum .

The following binary packages are always updated with newer versions. You might experience technical issues if you download a newer version for one or two of these applications.

Follow these steps (in that order):

• 1. Let's create a directory to do our work in:

  26. Restart Apache to load FFmpeg-Php (This is for RedHat/CentOS v5.x)

      1. • /sbin/service httpd restart

Let's see if FFmpeg is working. Run the following command:

• • php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep ffmpeg

If you get a few lines similar to the following:

ffmpeg

ffmpeg-php version => 0.6.0-svn

ffmpeg-php built on => Dec 5 2009 15:31:45

ffmpeg-php gd support => enabled

ffmpeg libavcodec version => Lavc51.62.0

ffmpeg libavformat version => Lavf52.18.0

ffmpeg swscaler => disabled

ffmpeg.allow_persistent => 0 => 0

ffmpeg.show_warnings => 0 => 0

That means FFmpeg, FFmpeg-Php, MPlayer, MEncoder, FLV2tool, LAME MP3 encoder & libOGG are working.
