# The goal here was to generate a web-focuse FFMPEG install that will read as many different formats as possible
#Centos 6 install ffmpeg 64 Bit
# It have installed several systems 32 and 64 bit as well as on the EC2 cloud using this procedure. # This install of FFMPEG has been designed to work on CentOS 5 platforms. As time passes this guide will obviously become obsolete.
#Centos 6 install ffmpeg code
That had just been released when these guide was prepared so we expect it will serve as a baseline for a functioning code base to use.Ħ) VERSIONS CHANGE!!!! to simplify things we have added a lot of direct download links for various libraries - if you are working through this guide and more then a month or two has elapsed since it was written (October 20th 2010) you should check if newer versions of the various libraries are available. These are not necessarily sane values and switches for encoding ffmpeg for the web - we´re still researching the best solutions for that - they are merely tests to see if it works.ĥ) The ffmpeg SVN Works is it working right now, it may not when you try this - you should be able to switch to the ffmpeg release 0.61 if the svn download failes to work. You can obviously replace these with your own test videos, we only left the command lines in there for your reference. Therefore - this is taking the long/manual way around.ģ) If ffmpeg fails - CLEAN IT if you hit an error trying to build ffmpeg (we certainly hope you won´t) be sure to completely clean that folder out (heck, I´d suggest even just re-grabbing the snapshot again) because you start to get unusual errors when you try to build on top of a failed build even if you "make clean" first.Ĥ) Video Encoding Tests The video encoding tests at the bottom of the procedure were our own tests comprising videos we have had troubles encoding in the past.
It took us roughly a month of searching, trial and error, and tests to eventually get this to work over a period of a year on and off.ġ) CentOS5.x 32 or 64 bit This may work for other platforms - probably should on RHEL and Fedora, but I have only tested it on CentOS.Ģ) Minimal extra repositories We know you can add yum repos that will give you ffmpeg, our goal here was a finer level of control and to get the latest latest libraries and svn of ffmpeg itself - also to keep our CentOS yum repo as clean as possible.
#Centos 6 install ffmpeg how to
This is a highly technical guide to how we managed to install ffmpeg on several CentOS 5.5 32 and 64bit platforms to achieve an effective modern web video transcoder.įor those struggling to figure out how to get ffmpeg to install and to have it work with as many input video formats as possible, we hope this guide saves you some time. Compiling FFMpeg on Centos 5 a procedural guide to getting ffmpeg to work with webm, mp4(x264) and ogg(theora) output **Updated May 24th 2011 to change to ffmpeg git repository per comments.
