Could you try removing ffmepg and then recompiling with the following options: ./configure --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libxvid --enable-libvorbis --enable-libgsm --enable-libfaac --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree To do this: wget http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-0.11.1.tar.gz tar -zxvf ffmpeg-0.11.1.tar.gz cd ffmpeg-0.11.1 ./configure --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libxvid --enable-libvorbis --enable-libgsm --enable-libfaac --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree make make install Once its installed issue the ffmpeg -version commands again. -----Original Message----- From: Mikael Kurula [mailto:alcar...@gmail.com] Sent: 14 December 2012 08:58 To: openmeetings-user@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: New to OpenMeetings; looking for input before installation Hey!
