You're correct and it's already been fixed (not sure if anyone tested the fix though). Nothing you did wrong, flander3444. Just update the FFmpeg source and start again. Refer to the Updating Your Installation section of this guide for more details on how to do that.Originally Posted by Bachstelze

It looks like libavcodec never stops, I have just seen the libavcodec native amr narrow band decoder arrive:

Good news. Also somewhat recent is the Indeo 5 decoder and a patch for a HE-AAC v1 decoder has been bouncing around in ffmpeg-devel lately.It looks like libavcodec never stops, I have just seen the libavcodec native amr narrow band decoder arrive:

All of the x264 presets have recently been added to FFmpeg. There are a few x264 options (--aq-mode and --rc-lookahead, maybe some others) that do not have have equivalents in FFmpeg, but it's a fairly close approximation.
New presets:
- ultrafast
- veryfast
- faster
- fast (somewhat similar to normal)
- medium (the default x264 settings, similar to default preset)
- slow (similar to hq)
- slower
- veryslow
- placebo (similar to the max preset)
Each of these presets also have an associated firstpass preset. Just append the name with _firstpass. For example:
Code:-vpre slower_firstpass
Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
Now it's much more consistent, thanks for the update.

This command works for me. Are you having connection problems? Do you have firewall interfering with your connection?
Your /etc/apt/sources.list probably contains a misconfigured entry. As your error states, there is no file at the URL. The correct URL is:
Code:http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz

Thanks! I had tried shutting down firestarter and mobloquer before and it didn't work, but this time I tried leaving both programs open but stopping their activity, and this works.
I solved this problem with help from someone in another thread.

Dipped in Ubuntu
For those wondering about getting LAVF and FFmpegSource2 to work, the below does. It could use some refinement to match the existing tutorial, of course (namely because I didn't want to mess with using checkinstall on FFMS2). Three things to be aware of - FFMS2 requires pkg-config (at or above 0.22) and autotools (it complains about the version numbers but still seems to do fine regardless; just something to note, but recompiling them/grabbing newer versions from a ppa may be necessary), and that the decoder-only ffmpeg I use initially can be extended with more than just libfaad, I just didn't want to bother. However, be aware of which external libs actually will help, and which ones are useless - many of the common external libs are just encoders and would be worthless in the initial step.
So, anyway, here we are (I put all three steps for grabbing the source first for ease of switching between directories later).
Grab the source:
Compile a decoding-only ffmpeg:Code:svn checkout svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg svn checkout http://ffmpegsource.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ffms2 git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
Compile FFmpegSource2:Code:mkdir ffms2_build cd ffmpeg ./configure --prefix=$HOME/ffms2_build --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-postproc --enable-pthreads --disable-encoders --disable-muxers --disable-debug --disable-network --enable-libfaad --disable-decoder=aac --disable-hwaccels --disable-filters --disable-indevs --disable-outdevs --enable-runtime-cpudetect make make install
Compile x264:Code:cd ../ffms2 ./configure --prefix=$HOME/ffms2_build PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/ffms2_build/lib/pkgconfig make make install
Clean up after ffmpeg and ffms2:Code:cd ../x264 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/ffms2_build/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --enable-shared make sudo checkinstall --pkgname=x264 --pkgversion "1:0.svn`date +%Y%m%d`+`git rev-list HEAD -n 1 | head -c 7`" --backup=no --default sudo ldconfig make distclean
And finally, compile a fully-functional FFmpeg linked against x264:Code:cd ../ffms2 make uninstall make distclean cd ../ffmpeg make uninstall make distclean
Code:./configure --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-postproc --enable-pthreads --enable-libx264 --enable-libfaad --disable-decoder=aac --enable-runtime-cpudetect make sudo checkinstall --pkgname=ffmpeg --pkgversion "4:0.5+svn`date +%Y%m%d`" --backup=no --default hash ffmpeg make distclean
I sadly could not get my custom prefix idea to work, although I am open to it if anyone knows how to make it play nice. x264 seemed to be fine with it in FFmpeg's case (which would give you LAVF support), but FFMS2 was incapable of finding FFmpeg and therefore would fail. I even tried all the custom ??FLAGS and PKG_CONFIG_PATH options and still no dice. So the safest way I could find was to install FFmpeg and FFMS2 as usual, build x264 (which would autodetect them), then remove FFmpeg and FFMS completely and utterly, and compile FFmpeg again without the crazy restrictions it had the first time.
To test, I then gave x264 an H.264 MKV file I'd encoded with ffmpeg, and it accepted it just fine: indexed it, encoded it, output a nice new .mp4 (only because I use GPAC-enabled builds). However, there did seem to be some issues with AVIs (or perhaps just ffvhuff and ASP, as the ffvhuff and XviD-encoded files I tested with it gave me a ticks_per_frame invalid warning - but strangely enough I don't think it had a problem with such files on Windows, and I was using the exact same source packages; of course, my GCC environment on Windows is using 4.4.3, and Ubuntu is still stuck back on 4.4.1 - there could be other environment-specific reasons, but it just struck me as odd).
