FFmpeg & wmv + mp4

Doing some work on media mover I realized I was having to many conversion issues. While it encouraged me to start developing some error checking in the FFmpeg module that I built, I needed to recompile FFmpeg with some better codec support.

This should work if you're on a debian/ubuntu box and you may need to install a bunch of these libraries:


# sudo apt-get build-dep ffmpeg
# sudo apt-get install liblame-dev libfaad2-dev libfaac-dev libxvidcore4-dev liba52-0.7.4 liba52-0.7.4-dev libfaac0 libfaad2-0
# svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
# cd ffmpeg*
# ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-libtheora --enable-libogg --enable-liba52 --enable-dc1394 --enable-libgsm --disable-debug --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaac --enable-libxvid
# make
# sudo make install

I can't find the packages

I can't find the packages that you installed. What's your repository?

I have the same problems with ffmpeg, but I can't install from svn too.
