    If libfaad0 - 2.7.0 is installed then you can't install the 2.6.1 libfaad-dev until it's removed (synaptic and or apt-get won't downgrade off of an attempted install of a -dev

    So either remove/downgrade the 2.7.0 libfaad0 first and then install or ...

    just go ahead an install the libfaad-dev (2.7.0... ) from your ppa, ffmpeg isn't going to care whether you have the 2.6.1 or 2.7.0 version, all that matters is the lib and -dev are the same version.

    ( you don't need to re-add the ppa if you decide to go with the 2.7.0 version, just go here and direct download and install the libfaad-dev, expand the arrow for faad0.....karmic3

    The extra packages (libavutil-extra-49 libswscale-extra-0 libpostproc-extra-51 libavformat-extra-52 libavcodec-extra-52 libavdevice-extra-52 libavfilter-extra-0) seem to cause issues in Karmic too. I'm unsure which one(s) cause errors, but I get:
    Code:
    ffmpeg: symbol lookup error: ffmpeg: undefined symbol: avcodec_decode_video2
    Those are exactly the symbol errors I was getting. Oh well, I guess I will keep doing what I'm doing when I upgrade to Karmic. Thanks.

    Thanks for the help. I uninstalled libfaad0 and then did an autoremove, and tried to install the prerequisites again - and the libfaad0-error is gone!

    Though, the libsdl1.2-dev remains. THe error states;
    libsdl1.2-dev: Dependent on: libglu1-mesa-dev but that will not be installed.
    Strangely enough?

    Says "E: Broken pakage" after.

    Any ideas?

    That would be because you have a higher version of libglu1-mesa from one of your ppa's, probably the xorg-edgers.

    Can't say what your best bet is there because I don't know why you're using that ppa, if it's the one.

    Inclination would be to enable the ppa that you got libglu1-mesa from and install the libglu1-mesa-dev package from there rather than downgrade to the karmic repo version which may, at this point, have other consequences.

    In the long run, if using ppa's, you should check and be aware of what they're upgrading, or in the case of ppa's that have multiple apps, be aware of what they could upgrade by leaving them enabled after installing whatever it is that caused you in add them in the first place. (thru the update manager, ect.

    ( not saying any of your ppa's are multi-app, just a 'in general' comment

    I have compiled ffmpeg and x264 following your directions, however using WinFF when I try and import presets for the updated svn ffmpeg from http://winff.googlecode.com/files/presets-r15824.tar.gz I get a the preset to import does not have a label message. Any ideas whats going on?

    That file seems to be damaged for me at least. It will not extract:
    Code:
    $ tar xzvf presets-r15824.tar.gz 
    
    gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
    tar: Child returned status 1
    tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
    A more appropriate and up-to-date preset file for your FFmpeg is probably presets-libavcodec52-v4.gz.

    Thanks a lot. That file is not in gzipped format, you need to remove the .gz extension for it to work. However WiFF doesn't allow me to import it somehow.

    The preset your recommended worked out fine, however I can't encode with it anymore, previously with older one, I could encode. I get a error indicating incorrect parameters being passed to encode.

    Finally figured out the issue of WinFF failing with new presets. It seems some of the codecs can't handle the multi cpu option which I had checked in WinFF, unticking that allowed me to encode the videos. Notably .flv is unable to do multi thread but x264 can.
