I am running 5.x-3.x-dev on Drupal 5.3, on an Ubuntu 6.10 LTS server with ffmpeg. Below is the version information for ffmpeg, along with the libraries it is using. The FLV files are transcoded, however there is no audio in my FLV files. No errors are being returned from ffmpeg when manually running the commands found in the output of cron.php, however those files don't have any audio either. Suggestions?

Here are the steps to get ffmpeg to work in Ubuntu 6.10, you may need to add the universe and multiverse repositories to your apt sources file.

apt-get install liblame-dev libfaad2-dev libfaac-dev libxvidcore4-dev liba52-0.7.4 liba52-0.7.4-dev libx264-dev liba52-dev libdts-dev libgsm1-dev libvorbis-dev  libxvidcore4 libxvidcore-dev libdc1394-dev libfaac-dev liblame-dev libx264-dev libfaad2-dev libtheora-dev libsdl1.2-dev build-essential checkinstall subversion

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg

cd ffmpeg

./configure --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-pthreads --enable-swscaler --enable-encoder=libvorbis --enable-encoder=libogg --enable-encoder=liba52 --enable-encoder=libgsm --enable-encoder=dc1394 --enable-encoder=libxvid --disable-debug --enable-encoder=libfaac --enable-encoder=libmp3lame --enable-encoder=libx264 --enable-encoder=libfaad --enable-encoder=libtheora --enable-decoder=libvorbis --enable-decoder=libogg --enable-decoder=liba52 --enable-decoder=libgsm --enable-decoder=dc1394 --enable-decoder=libxvid --enable-decoder=libfaac --enable-decoder=libmp3lame --enable-decoder=libx264 --enable-decoder=libfaad

Hi! I had the same problem. you need to get the lame lib to encode mp3 sound. I´m trying to solve it right now. At least i get the transcoded video working all right when doing it via putty.

Have a nice 2008!
