Install FFmpeg and x264 on Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 & Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10
These versions of Ubuntu are unsupported and this guide will not be updated.
Get the Dependencies
1. Uninstall x264, libx264-dev, and ffmpeg if they are already installed. Open a terminal and run the following:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove ffmpeg x264 libx264-dev
2. Next, get all of the packages you will need to install FFmpeg and x264 (you may need to enable the universe and multiverse repositories):
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion git-core checkinstall yasm texi2html libfaac-dev libsdl1.2-dev libvorbis-dev libx11-dev libxfixes-dev libxvidcore4-dev zlib1g-dev
Install x264
3. Get the most current source files from the official x264 git repository, compile, and install. Daily source tarballs are also available as an alternative to using git.
Code:
cd
git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
cd x264
./configure
make
sudo checkinstall --pkgname=x264 --pkgversion "1:0.svn`date +%Y%m%d`-0.0ubuntu1" --backup=no --deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --install=yes --default
Install LAME (optional)
4. This is used to encode mp3 audio. You can skip this step and omit --enable-libmp3lame from the ./configure line in step 7 if you don't plan on encoding mp3.
Code:
sudo apt-get remove libmp3lame-dev
sudo apt-get install nasm
cd
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lame/lame/3.98.4/lame-3.98.4.tar.gz
tar xzvf lame-3.98.4.tar.gz
cd lame-3.98.4
./configure --enable-nasm --disable-shared
make
sudo checkinstall --pkgname=lame-ffmpeg --pkgversion="3.98.4" --backup=no --deldoc=yes --install=yes --fstrans=no --default
Install libopencore-amr (optional)
5. This will allow you to decode and encode AMR audio. I recommend skipping this step and omitting --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb from step 7 if you are not going to decode or encode AMR audio.
Code:
cd
wget http://transact.dl.sourceforge.net/project/opencore-amr/opencore-amr/0.1.2/opencore-amr-0.1.2.tar.gz
tar xvf opencore-amr-0.1.2.tar.gz
cd opencore-amr-0.1.2
./configure --disable-shared
make
sudo checkinstall --pkgname="libopencore-amr" --pkgversion="0.1.2" --backup=no --fstrans=no --install=yes --default
Install libtheora (optional)
6. This is used to encode to Theora, the video type usually found in OGG files. The repository libtheora is too old, so it must be compiled. I recommend skipping this step and omitting --enable-libtheora in step 7 if you don't plan on encoding to Theora video:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libogg-dev
cd
wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/theora/libtheora-1.1.1.tar.gz
tar xzvf libtheora-1.1.1.tar.gz
cd libtheora-1.1.1
./configure --disable-shared
make
sudo checkinstall --pkgname=libtheora --pkgversion "1.1.1" --backup=no --fstrans=no --install=yes --default
Install FFmpeg
7. Get the most current source files from the official FFmpeg svn, compile, and install. Run "./configure --help" to see what features you can enable/disable. If you are behind a firewall or unable to use subversion, then nightly FFmpeg snapshots are also available.
Code:
cd
svn checkout svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
./configure --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-x11grab
make
sudo checkinstall --pkgname=ffmpeg --pkgversion "3:0.svn`date +%Y%m%d`-12ubuntu3" --backup=no --fstrans=no --install=yes --default
hash x264 ffmpeg ffplay
That's it for installation. You can keep the ~/x264 and ~/ffmpeg directories if you later want to update the source files to a new revision. See "Updating Your Installation" on the first page of this guide for more details.
That's it! Now head back to the FFmpeg guide for usage instructions and more.
Reverting Changes Made by This Tutorial
To remove FFmpeg/x264 and any changes made from this tutorial:
Code:

Lastly, delete the ffmpeg and x264 directories in your home folder.
