OpenShot Video Editor

libx264 is missing at debian squeeze

Asked by Tobias Braeker

Hello,
I am running debian 6.0.6.
I have installed OpenShot 1.1.3 via the software center.
When I want to export a video, I get the error message that libx264 and libmp3lame are missing.
I added debian-backports at the packet sources.
But there are only libx264-120 and libmp3lame0 available.
So, helpless who I am, I installed them with synaptic packet installer.
But it is not working. OpenShot gives the same error message.

What can I do?

I would appreaciate to get help.

Best Regards

Tobias

Hi,
You don't have the good version of FFmpeg for that.
Take a look at this two links even if the second is initially for Ubuntu but packages/names on the screenshot are the same.

Hi Cenwen,
thank you very much for your answere.
I have installed all packages as mentioned in your second link for the medibuntu installation.
Openshot sends still the error message that libx264 and libmp3lame are missing.

Synaptic says: ffmpeg version is 4:0.5.9-1

I looked here:

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze-backports/amd64/ffmpeg/download

There is a version 0.8.3 for download.

But at least I am too stupid to do so. I added the backports source, And I still get the old 0.5 version.

Do you have an idea?

Thank you very much for your time and experience

Tobias

just click on a link that you have choose (for sample the first on the right).
Download the deb and after you 'll install it either gebi, dpkg,....
Do you have libavformat-extra-53, libavcodec-extra-53, libavdevice53,............... installed ?

Do you have the multimedia repository activated (i.e. this one that we called in the past Merillat repository) ?
I don't understand why are you using the backports repository.

Hi Cenwen,
thank you very much. I have got it:
I activated the multimedia repository. This was the missing part. Good hint.
Then I had to install an new keyring, because of failure message "No pubkey"

Regarding your question: I used the backports repository to get libavformat-extra-53 ... . Maybe this is encluded in the multimedia repository. I do not know because I used the multimedia repository after the installation of the libraries.

Thanks a lot

I wish you a nice time

Tobias
