This guide will provide the latest FFmpeg code and enable several external encoding and decoding libraries:fdk-aac (AAC encoder), libfaac (AAC encoder), libmp3lame (MP3 encoder), libopencore-amr (AMR encoder/decoder), librtmp (for additional RTMP protocols), libtheora (Theora encoder), libvorbis (Vorbis encoder), libvpx (VP8 encoder/decoder), and libx264 (H.264
encoder). These are optional and may be omitted if desired. This guide
will also install many filters, including the subtitles filter for
hardcoding subtitles (see the filter list in the Filtering Guide).
If necessary, uninstall x264, libx264-dev, and ffmpeg:
$ sudo apt-get remove ffmpeg x264 libx264-dev yasm

Compilation & Installation
1. Yasm
Yasm is an assembler used by x264 and FFmpeg.
$wget http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-1.2.0.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf yasm-1.2.0.tar.gz
$ cd yasm-1.2.0
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo checkinstall --pkgname=yasm --pkgversion="1.2.0" --backup=no --deldoc=yes --default
|
2. Install x264
H.264 video encoder. The following commands will get the current source files, compile, and install x264. See the
x264 Encoding Guide for some usage examples.
$ git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264
$ cd x264
$ ./configure --enable-static --enable-shared --enable-debug --enable-gprof
$ make
$ sudo checkinstall --pkgname=x264 --pkgversion="3:$(./version.sh | \
awk -F'[" ]' '/POINT/{print $4"+git"$5}')" --backup=no --deldoc=yes \
--fstrans=no --default
|
3. fdk-aac
AAC audio encoder. See the
AAC Encoding Guide for more information and examples.
$ git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac.git
$ cd fdk-aac
$ autoreconf –fiv
$ ./configure --disable-shared
$ make
$ sudo checkinstall --pkgname=fdk-aac --pkgversion="$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)-git" --backup=no \
--deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --default
|
4. libmp3lame
MP3 audio encoder.
$ sudo apt-get remove libmp3lame-dev
$ sudo apt-get install nasm
$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lame/lame/3.99/lame-3.99.5.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf lame-3.99.5.tar.gz
$ cd lame-3.99.5
$ ./configure --enable-nasm --disable-shared
$ make
$ sudo checkinstall --pkgname=lame-ffmpeg --pkgversion="3.99.5" --backup=no --default --deldoc=yes
|
5. libopus
Opus audio decoder and encoder.
$ git clone --depth 1 git://git.xiph.org/opus.git
$ cd opus
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --disable-shared
$ make
$ sudo checkinstall --pkgname=libopus --pkgversion="$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)-git" --backup=no \
--deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --default
|
6. libvpx
VP8/VP9 video encoder and decoder. See the
vpx (WebM) Encoding Guide for more information and examples.
$ git clone --depth 1 http://git.chromium.org/webm/libvpx.git
$ cd libvpx
$ ./configure --disable-examples --disable-unit-tests
$ make
$ sudo checkinstall --pkgname=libvpx --pkgversion="1:$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)-git" --backup=no \
--deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --default
|
7. ffmpeg
Note: Server users should remove
--enable-x11grab from the following command:
$ git clone --depth 1 git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg
$ cd ffmpeg
$ ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-libass --enable-libfaac --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libmp3lame \
--enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-librtmp --enable-libtheora \
--enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-x11grab --enable-libx264 --enable-nonfree --enable-version3
$ make
$ sudo checkinstall --pkgname=ffmpeg --pkgversion="7:$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)-git" --backup=no \
--deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --default
$ hash -r
|
Finish
Installation is now complete and ffmpeg is now ready for use. Check to see if you’re using your new ffmpeg:
$ ffmpeg 2>&1 | head -n1
