Installing FFMPEG on Linux

Add a comment September 14th, 2007

FFMPEG is an open source application that allows you to convert video and audio files easily between a variety of different formats. It supports most industry-standard codec and can convert from one file format to another quickly and easily. This article will guide you to installing FFMPEG and other codec on Linux.

FFMPEG Installation Requirements:

  • FFMPEG
  • LAME Mp3 Audio Codec (Requred for mpg, flv, avi, wmv etc files)
  • AMR Audio Codec (Required for 3gp video files)
  • XVID Audio Codec
  • FFMPEG-PHP

Note on installing FFMPEG:

  • All the Audio Codec getting used in FFMPEG are not part of FFMPEG Source base

FFMPEG Download URL:
On the download page of FFMPEG they have geven the download link from SVN and checkout-snapshot but i would suggest to use SVN source code base.
FFMPEG Download Page FFMPEG
The url for the SVN source code for FFMPEG is: svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk

To download from SVN you will have to install subversion located at subversion.tigris.org, or you can use “TortoiseSVN” located at tortoisesvn.tigris.org.

LAME Mp3 Codec download URL: Lame Mp3 Codec

AMR Audio Download URL: AMR Audio Codec
To install the AMR codec you will require both AMR-WB and AMR-NB files.

XVID Audio Download URL: XVID Audio Codec

FFMPEG-PHP Download URL: FFMPEG-PHP

Installation Steps:
It is a good practice to install all the external audio codec libraries first and then install the FFMPEG.

Installing LAME MP3 Encoder

  • Untar the lame file by using tar zxvf lametarfile
  • Assign 777 permission rights to the lame folder by typing chmod 777 lamefolder -R
  • Traverse to the root of lame folder and type
    ./configure
    make
    make install

Installing AMR Codec
For installing the AMR codec there are two separate files that needs to be installed are AMR-WB and AMR-NB.

  • Untar the AMR file by using tar zxvf tarfile
  • Assign 777 permission rights to the amr folder by typing chmod 777 amrfolder -R
  • Traverse to the root of amr folder and type
    ./configure
    make
    make install

Note on Installing AMR:
You might get errors installing AMR codec on Autoconf utility of linux. To resolve this problem will have to install the latest version of Autoconf utility from Download AutoConf

Installing Xvid Codec

  • Untar the xvid file bu using tar zxvf tarfilename
  • Assign 777 permission rights to the lame folder by typing chmod 777 xvidfolder -R
  • Traverse to the root of xvid folder
  • Goto Build/generic folder and type
    ./configure
    make
    make install

Installing GCC

  • This is required only if the SVN for FFMPEG is not compatible with the existing version of GCC(3x) requires a new version for the same
  • After the installation of GCC need to convert all the files of SVN to Unix compatible by using “dos2unix ffmpegfolder/* -R”.

Installing FFMPEG

  • Download the ffmpeg from SVN
  • Assign 777 permission rights to the ffmpeg folder by typing chmod 777 ffmepgfolder -R
  • Traverse to the root of ffmpeg folder and type
    ./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libogg –enable-libvorbis –enable-libamr-nb –enable-libamr-wb –enable-libxvid –enable-gpl –enable-shared
    make
    make install

Your email:

 


Installing FFMPEG-PHP

  • Download the ffmpeg-php from Sourceforge
  • Unpack the archive by using following command “tar -xjf ffmpeg-php.X.XX.tar.gz”
  • Iterate inside the ffmpeg-php directory
  • Run phpize (included with your php install) to build configuration files
    ./configure
    make
    make install

NOTE FOR FFMPEG-PHP:
If you are planning to install FFMPEG-PHP then will have to add –enable-shared parameter while configuring FFMPEG

You might get installation error while making the file related to html or texti files in ffmpeg\doc folder. The solution for this that worked for me is to just create a empty file by using touch command in the respective folders.

Note:
The following configure parameter will work with FFMPEG 0.49. But now the latest version does not have –enable-libogg parameter so if you are planning to installing the latest version then the configure parameter would be /configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libvorbis –enable-libamr-nb –enable-libamr-wb –enable-libxvid –enable-gpl –enable-shared.

Note on Reinstalling FFMPEG:
If you are planning to reinstall the FFMPEG software the will have to perform following steps:

  • ./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libogg –enable-libvorbis –enable-libamr-nb –enable-libamr-wb –enable-libxvid –enable-gpl –enable-shared
  • make clean
  • make
  • make install

Lot of people are facing error on loading shared libraries libavdevice.so.52, solution to the same is:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/

Still facing problem while installing leave a comment, will try my best to help you out. :)

    hi
    i want to use ffmpeg to convert .flv to .amr
    i installed both libamr-nb and libamr-wb
    and installed ffmpeg with
    “./configure –enable-libamr-nb –enable-libamr-wb”

    but then ffmpeg command gives me following error..

    “ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libamrnb.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

    what’s going on.?
    please help.

    nahian

  7. December 13th, 2007 at 21:57 | #7

    Hi Nahian,
    Based on the configure parameter you have send , I think you have not install the FFMPEG correctly. Also can u give me the steps you have followed while installing FFMPEG.

    Nahian

    hi hitesh.
    thanx for helping..

    i used following commands for installing libamr-nb and libamr-wb

    ./configure
    make clean
    make
    make install

    and for installing ffmpeg

    ./configure –enable-libamr-wb –enable-libamr-nb –enable-shared
    make clean
    make
    make install

    now for ffmpeg command i find this message

    “ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.51: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

    again i tried with this.
    ./configure –enable-libogg –enable-libvorbis –enable-libamr-nb –enable-libamr-wb –enable-gpl –enable-shared
    but same thing happened

    but using “locate libavformat.so.51″ command i find following ..
    /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so.51.17.0
    /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so.51

    i’m using (GCC) 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)

  9. December 15th, 2007 at 07:02 | #9

    Hi Nahian,
    Seeing your configure parameter for FFMPEG, you will also have to install LAME Mp3 Codec as FLV uses mp3 for its audio. I have already mentioned about Lame Mp3 codec in this post.

    Also first install the Lame Mp3 and then install ffmpeg again using
    ./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libamr-wb –enable-libamr-nb –enable-shared
    make clean
    make
    make install

    Hi Hitesh,

    Thanks for publishing useful article.

    However after installing ffmpeg and run at the terminal window in Linux I have got the error as follows

    Hi Munish,
    Is this error coming when you are writing typing ‘ffmpeg’ command or when trying to convert media.

  14. December 20th, 2007 at 05:09 | #14

    Hi Munish Dogra,
    I think you have not installed FFMPEG Correctly. Reinstall the FFMPEG using steps mentioned in this post.

    Also the codecs in the configure will be as per the codecs installed for ffmpeg.

    I’ve been trying to get the extension ogghandler to work on an installation of mediawiki. It requires ffmpeg and I thought that I installed it correctly but I keep getting the error:

    Error creating thumbnail: /home/usr/bin/ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libavdevice.so.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    that file is located there and but I can’t seem to get around this one. Any ideas?

    Hi skidrab,
    Sorry for replying late, but as far your query on installing FFMPEG you can refer to this article. But make sure you install it in sequence mentioned in the article.

    Does this answer your comment?

    Hi,

    Has anyone tried installing FFMpeg on windows and integrate it with visual studio.

    I trying to run both the encoder and decoder which is in the output_eaxmaple.c file.

    It will be great if someone has already done this.

    Hello,

    all steps work until I reach ffmpeg-php installation.
    I use openSUSE 10.3 and newest ffmpeg version and ffmpeg-php 0.5.0

    After configure and make I do make test and there comes all those errors:
    “PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘modules/ctype.so’ – modules/ctype.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0″

    And this error for each build-in mod. And all

    Number of tests : 31 19
    Tests skipped : 12 ( 38.7%) ——–
    Tests warned : 0 ( 0.0%) ( 0.0%)
    Tests failed : 19 ( 61.3%) (100.0%)
    Tests passed : 0 ( 0.0%) ( 0.0%)

    So I guess there is a problem with my php-configuration, right?

    Hi Monika,

    For installing FFMPEG on linux please follow the installation steps as stated in this article. Also you can try Sohenson Squeeze (windows) which is a commercial product for .flv conversion.

    For those who got an error like “error while loading shared libraries: libavdevice.so.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”, you can do the next:

    cd /etc/ld.so.conf.d

    add another file: custom-libs.conf

    inside, put :

    /usr/local/lib

    save,

    then do ldconfig

    I’m getting an error trying to convert a video with the mp4a audio codec. Has anybody got a solution? This is the error:

    …..

    Well, I’ve solved the problem. I had to install the faad library, but it has some other dependencies like libid3-dev, which we must install before installing the faad library.

    I used this command
    ./configure –prefix=$HOME –enable-libamr-wb
    But got this error:
    libamr is nonfree and –enable-nonfree is not specified.

    So I used this one:
    ./configure –prefix=$HOME –enable-libamr-wb –enable-nonfree
    and got this error:
    ERROR: libamrwb not found

    I have already installed the AMR, and it located at /home/username/lib, I think error happened because it can not find the lib directory under my user root. Are there any way to tell ./configure the place for the AMR library?

    Thanks very much.

    Note to above comment, I am using web hosting and no way to update /etc/ld.so.conf.d, so anyone ever used ffmpeg in web hosting server?

    Hi I have a question about installation. I installed all the files in usr/local when i tried the last part from the ffmpeg dir.. i get this error

    Unknown option “–enable-libmp3lame”.
    See ./configure –help for available options.

    then i tried just ./configure -enable-shared

    i get this

    bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

    keep in mind i am running the commands from the ffmpeg dir.

    so from teh ffmpeg dir i just ran the ./configure
    make
    make install

    i got so many warnings and deprecated warning. in the end i got
    install -d “/usr/local/bin”
    install -c -m 755 ffmpeg ffserver “/usr/local/bin”

    so my dir structure looks like this

    usr/local
    usr/local/ffmpeg
    usr/local/lame-3.97
    usr/local/amrnb-7.0.0.0
    usr/local/amrwb-7.0.0.2

    all the file that i untared are on the same level should they have all been under the ffmpeg. how would i run a test scrip to convert any video format to .flv?

    Thanks any help would be much appreciated.

    1.downloaded svn checkout version
    2.unzipping it using tar -xjf command
    3.Do ./configure –enable-shared
    4.Make install
    5.make

    I got the .so libraries in /usr/lib/local folder
    but when i am linking the above librraies and running the code i am getting the segmentation fault error in av_open_input_stream.

    I think that there is error in ffmpeg installation.

    Please guide me how should i be able to install the ffmpeg correctly.

    How can we fix that?

    Hi I am getting the following error:

    ./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libvorbis –enable-libamr-nb –enable-libamr-wb –enable-libxvid –enable-gpl –enable-shared –enable-nonfree
    Unable to create and execute files in /tmp. Set the TMPDIR environment
    variable to another directory and make sure that /tmp is not mounted
    noexec.
    Sanity test failed.
    If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
    version from SVN. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
    ffmpeg-user@mplayerhq.hu mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
    Include the log file “config.err” produced by configure as this will help
    solving the problem.

    Please help me

    Hi,

    Can anyone elaborate to me the steps for compiling ffmpeg on linux with support for watermarks? i.e. how to compile ffmpeg to add the watermark module and how to configure vhooks?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Bob,
    I was also trying to install FFMPEG-PHP but it was not getting installed due to the same error. After 2 days of fight i manage to install FFMPEG-PHP on my Laptop.

    Before Installing FFMPEG and FFMPEG-PHP i installed following items using yum.

    yum install gcc gcc-c++ libgcc gd gd-devel gettext freetype freetype-devel ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel libjpeg* libjpeg-devel* libpng* libpng-devel* libstdc++* libstdc++-devel* libtiff* libtiff-devel* libtool* libungif* libungif-deve* libxml* libxml2* libxml2-devel* zlib* zlib-devel* automake* autoconf* samba-common* ncurses-devel ncurses patch

    After installing the above packages, i reinstalled FFMPEG and FFMPEG-PHP and both the installation were successfull.

    hi, i have already installed AMR and during the installation of ffmpeg , i find this error

    libamr is nonfree and –enable-nonfree is not specified.

    Need guidance about this error
    Thank you very much.

  46. March 18th, 2009 at 09:48 | #46

    Hi Rizwan,
    Just add –enable-nonfree to your FFMPEG configuration that error will disappear.

    Thanks,

    hi Hitesh, i have used the above comand as well like this, but now found this error
    ./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libvorbis –enable-libamr-nb –enable-libamr-wb –enable-libxvid –enable-gpl –enable-shared –enable-nonfree
    ERROR:libamrwb not found

    i have already installed AMR.

    Thankyou very much in advance.

    Hi,

    I have started the installation from line 1.

    Note: I have download all the tar files and place it /home/pkendre/Doc folder.

    Step: 1.
    I have successfully completed installation of LAME MP3 Encoder.

    Step: 2.
    I have
    Now I have to Install “AMR Codec”, what i have conclude before install AMR Codec, i have to install autoConf.
    because for ./configure i am getting following error.


    configure: error: You need patch utility to prepare sources.

    So, I have downloaded both the files “amrwb-7.0.0.3.tar.bz2″ and “amrnb-7.0.0.2.tar.bz2″, I have placed this two files in /home/pkendre/Doc folder.

    Then could you please tell me how to install autoConf?

    Rizwan

    hi Hitesh, i have solved the above ERROR by installing amrwb again.
    But now i found this error

    ./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libvorbis –enable-libamr-nb –enable-libamr-wb –enable-libxvid –enable-gpl –enable-shared –enable-nonfree
    ERROR:libxvid not found

    i have reinstalled the xvid audio codec successfully,But still found this error during the installation of ffmpeg ??

    thankyou very much in advance for your guidance.

  50. March 19th, 2009 at 07:01 | #50

    Hi Rizwan,
    You have selected –enable-libxvid in FFMPEG configuration. You need to have XVID library installed in your system. FFMPEG did not find the xvid library that why it is throwing error. If you dont require xvid library than remove it from configure parameter.

    But when i used this below command for testing then found this error

    [root@abc project]# ffmpeg -i test.mp3 test.flv

    ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libavdevice.so.52:cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    Hey Hitesh,

    I’m currently trying to install FFmpeg on my centos 5.3 server. When i run it to see if it’s working i get the error

    “ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libavdevice.so.52: cannot open shared object file, or some other library. ”

    I don’t know anything about linux however so i have not been able to follow along with previous posts. If it’s not a lot to it, could you please tell me step by step, what commands i need to type through the terminal?

    Thanks a lot!
