Michael, Unless things have changed, using a packaged ffmpeg will not fully work, you have to compile it as per Stephen's instructions.
************************************************************************ *************** Step 6: Compile and Install ffmpeg (1.1.2) Let's go back to our temporary working area Let's make our temporary working area cd /usr/adm Download, compile and install ffmpeg by issuing these commands: wget http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-1.1.2.tar.gz tar -zxvf ffmpeg-1.1.2.tar.gz cd ffmpeg-1.1.2 ./configure --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libxvid --enable-libvorbis --enable-libgsm \ --enable-libfaac --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree make checkinstall N.B - You will be asked a series of question towards the end of the install, press return for each to continue. Once that has completed you can now test it by issuing the following: ffmpeg -version Which should give you the following output: ffmpeg-1.1.2 ************************************************************************ *************** Thanks, George Kirkham -----Original Message----- From: michael.wut...@eledia.de [mailto:michael.wut...@eledia.de] Sent: Saturday, 9 February 2013 12:39 AM To: user@openmeetings.apache.org Subject: RE: ffmpeg-package from deb-multimedia.org for OM 2.x Hello, now it works for me (OM 2.0 with debian squeeze 64bit). I installed the latest Version of ffmpeg and marked the package as 6:1.1.2. ;-) But there is still one problem. I made a recording of a live-classroom and the recordning was playable/visible in the webfrontend but not the download version, neither the avi- nor the flv-file was playable. I only saw a black screen. Have you any idea? Thank you very much, Michael when you do checkinstall you must modify the default version. For example, the package version on Ubuntu server 12.04 is 4:0.8.5 Using checkinstall on 0.11.2 source gives a version 0.11.2 You must modify it to be 4:0.11.2 Next time you update your packages, ffmpeg installed version won't be downgraded. > The latest guide I just uploaded also uses 1.1.2 and compiles fine on > Debian. > > I'll add a section on the guide for people to change the version when > using checkinstall. > > Cheers > >
