This HowTo describes how to install the transcoding tools under Ubuntu 13.04
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 yasm
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 install x264:
wget ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/snapshots/last_stable_x264.tar.bz2 tar xvjf last_stable_x264.tar.bz2 # VORSICHT: Pfad im nächsten Befehl bitte ersetzen: cd x264-snapshot-XXXXXXXX-XXXX-stable/ ./configure --enable-shared --enable-pic make && make install 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 ..

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:

We install or copy qt-faststart:
- 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/faaststart_64
For an update to VIMP 3.2.0+ you have to install exiftool:
