ffmpeg from medibuntu with --enable-a52 ?

Asked by Joris Spriet

hi, I wonder if someone could help me to get ffmpeg working with a52 / ac3 ?

I followed the steps mentioned here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu), and got all updates (including forffmpeg), but when I run ffmpeg on a video file I have it shows:

FFmpeg version SVN-rUNKNOWN, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al.
configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-swscaler --enable-pthreads --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libogg --enable-libgsm --enable-dc1394 --disable-debug --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaadbin --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaac --enable-xvid --enable-x264 --enable-amr_nb --enable-amr_wb --enable-shared --prefix=/usr

Duration: 00:00:08.0, start: 0.251978, bitrate: 9345 kb/s
Stream #0.0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 720x576, 8500 kb/s, 25.00 fps(r)
Stream #0.1[0x80]: Audio: 0x0000, 48000 Hz, stereo, 384 kb/s
As you can see, it shows 0x000 for the Audio stream, but I know it is AC3; and you can also see that --enable-a52 is not mentioned it the configuration list.

Do I have to compile ffmpeg myself to get this or is there a package I can install ?

Well I could not wait much longer. Need to edit some videos I shot.
I compiled ffmpeg based on the instructions here:http://po-ru.com/diary/bleeding-edge-ffmpeg-on-ubuntu-feisty/

While not completely working with the latest svn revision (some configure options have changed name),
it otherwise worked very well.

Still, I don't understand why Medibuntu does not deliver an mplayer/ffmpeg out-of-the-box with all these "illegal" options enabled.
I thought this was what Medibuntu was all about ?

Yes, it is (medibuntu is all about this, and ffmpeg should have this enabled)
I remember enabling these flags some time ago, we may have lost them somehow during an update.

This should be fixed in the 0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu4+medibuntu3 revision.

When a amd64 version of this will be available ? Thanks. I have the same error as the original poster and has been waiting for the fix for three days. That's a long time. :)

I'm willing to compile this thing from source but when I use "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakteroot -b", I notice in the configure log that many options are disabled (aac, aad, mp3lame, dts, x264,...). Does anybody how to activate these options exactly the way they're now?

Thanks

The updated packages should be available now.

Toan, ./configure --help should give you the entire list of possible configure flags.

Toan, if you wish to enable these flags in the .deb packages made by dpkg-buildpackage, edit the file debian/rules, search for the line "confflags += --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-swscaler --enable-pthreads" and add your options after the "--enable-pthreads"

No more input, let's say it's solved.
