What packages do I install for ffmpeg and libmp3lame?
On my desktop Ubuntu 10.4 I use ffmpeg to convert videos to a format my dvd-player understands. On my laptop running 10.10 I can’t get the same command to work, what package(s) are missing?
ffmpeg -i infile.flv
-threads 2 -vcodec mpeg4 -vtag divx -acodec libmp3lame
outfile.avi
#...snip
Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame'
Using apt-cache search libmp3lame I’m told there exist libmp3lame0 and libmp3lame-dev, both of which I’ve installed. Using acodec libmp3lame0 doesn’t work either.
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-52
If package not found try:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-53
you can also try to install the libmp3lame0 package:
sudo apt-get install libmp3lame0
Try this,
Open Synaptic Package Manager and reinstall ffmpeg.
Also try installing winff in Synaptic, this will give you a GUI for ffmpeg.
Edit…
See also http://code.google.com/p/winff/wiki/UbuntuInstallation about adding “libavcodec-extra-52, libavutil-extra-49 and libavformat-extra-52 from the multiverse repository”
Install the encoder by running he following command
sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-53
