This HowTo describes how to install the transcoding tools under Ubuntu 12.04
For Open Source Transcoding you have to install the Transcoding Tools (MPlayer, mencoder, FFmpeg, flvtool2, faststart). As the Ubuntu packages do not support all required formats we compile the needed tools. Please just copy & paste the code into your shell and execute the commands as root.
First we do some maintenance and remove some packages (if existing):
cd /usr/src apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get remove x264 ffmpeg mplayer mencoder
We install the easy to use editor joe and some tools:
apt-get install joe make automake g++ bzip2 unzip patch subversion
We have to extend the search path in /etc/ld.so.conf
joe /etc/ld.so.conf
... and check, if the following lines exist within the file. If not, please add:
/usr/lib /usr/local/lib
We install some codecs:
apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev zlib1g-dev libfaad-dev libfaac-dev libgsm1-dev libtheora-dev libvorbis-dev libspeex-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libxvidcore-dev libxvidcore4 libmp3lame-dev libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev
We need yasm (Minumum-Version: yasm-1.2.0) to compile x264:
wget http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-1.2.0.tar.gz tar xzf yasm-1.2.0.tar.gz cd yasm-1.2.0/ ./configure && make install cd ..
We install x264:
git clone http://git.videolan.org/git/x264.git
cd x264/ ./configure --enable-shared --enable-pic make && make install
ldconfig cd ..
We install libvpx:
wget http://webm.googlecode.com/files/libvpx-v1.2.0.tar.bz2 tar xvjf libvpx-v1.2.0.tar.bz2 cd libvpx-v1.2.0 ./configure --enable-shared --enable-pic make make install cd ..
We install MPlayer/mencoder (only VIMP <=3.1.9) :
wget http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.1.tar.gz tar xvzf MPlayer-1.1.tar.gz cd MPlayer-1.1/ ./configure make && make install ldconfig cd ..
...and FFmpeg and FFprobe:
wget http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-2.0.1.tar.bz2 tar xvjf ffmpeg-2.0.1.tar.bz2 cd ffmpeg-2.0.1/ ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-shared --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid make make install ldconfig cd ..
We install or copy qt-faststart (only VIMP <=3.1.9):
- Please download qt-faststart from our website.
- Copy the script that meets your needs (32-Bit: faststart ; 64-Bit: faststart_64) to /usr/local/bin/
- make executable:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/faststart
or
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/faststart_64
Since and for an update to VIMP 3.2.0+ you have to install exiftool:
apt-get install libimage-exiftool-perl
Finally, create the required cron job.
