I require an h.264 and mpeg2video codecs in ffmpeg, but "Lenny" does not provide them. I read through a number of articles giving advice on how to compile these codecs into ffmpeg, but when I try to take their advice, the install fails. All of them I have come across instruct the user to employ svn to enable the required utilities. The problme is, the svn download fails. Every suggestion I have seen, including one from late September of this year, calls for a download from svn.mplayerhq.hu. I can ping the site, but when the call to svn tries to download, if fails with "svn: Can't connect to host 'svn.mplayerhq.hu': Connection timed out". So what can I do, now?
Here is an example of the command I used to try to install a version of ffmpeg with an h.264 codes and an mpeg2video codec compiled in: # apt-get build-dep ffmpeg-debian # apt-get source ffmpeg-debian # cd ffmpeg-debian-0.svn20080206 # DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=internalencoders fakeroot debian/rules get-orig-source # sed -i '1s/ffmpeg-debian/ffmpeg/' debian/changelog debian/control # DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=internalencoders dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc When I try to run the 4th line, the process fails apparently when trying to download ffmpeg_0.svn20080206.orig.tar.gz. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
