%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ ffmpeg-&ffmpeg-version;.tar ffmpeg FFmpeg FFmpeg is a solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It is a very fast video and audio converter and it can also acquire from a live audio/video source. Designed to be intuitive, the command-line interface (ffmpeg) tries to figure out all the parameters, when possible. FFmpeg can also convert from any sample rate to any other, and resize video on the fly with a high quality polyphase filter. FFmpeg can use a video4linux compatible video source and any Open Sound System audio source.

Skip to the root user installation steps if you don't need other formats of the documentation, or issue any or all of the following commands to create the additional formats. for DOCFILE in faq ffmpeg-doc ffplay-doc ffserver-doc hooks do texi2pdf -b $DOCFILE.texi texi2dvi -b $DOCFILE.texi dvips -o $DOCFILE.ps $DOCFILE.dvi makeinfo --plaintext --force -o $DOCFILE.txt $DOCFILE.texi done If you do not have TeX installed, use the following command to build the man pages: make -C doc ff{mpeg,play,server}.1 Now, as the root user: make install If you have TeX installed on your system, install the documentation by issuing the following commands as the root user (modify the command appropriately to reflect the documentation formats you've created): install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/ffmpeg-&ffmpeg-version; && install -v -m644 doc/*.{html,dvi,pdf,ps,txt} /usr/share/doc/ffmpeg-&ffmpeg-version; sed -i -e "s/static uint64/const uint64/" libavcodec/liba52/resample_mmx.c: This command fixes an issue on machines with MMX capability and use GCC >= 3.4.x to compile in A52 support using the --enable-a52 parameter passed to the configure script. --enable-shared: This switch is needed to build the libavcodec and libavformat shared libraries. --enable-pthreads: This switch enables the build to link against the Posix threads library. --disable-ffplay: Only installs the server part. ffplay requires X for building. Remove this option if X is installed. --enable-[codec]: Review the available options and codecs using the ./configure --help command. Also review the information at the end of the configure script (cat the file or view it using a text editor) for information about building support for the AMR codecs. /etc/ffserver.conf and ~/.ffmpeg/ffserver-config ~/.ffmpeg/ffserver-config /etc/ffserver.conf You'll find a sample ffserver configuration file at (also doc/ffserver.conf in the source tree).
