install ffmpeg with codecs on Linux Redhat / CentOS
this guide is from http://wiki.razuna.com/display/ecp/FFMpeg+Installation+on+CentOS+and+RedHat
There are a couple of different ways to install FFMpeg and the required libraries. We are showing both ways here.
Recommended way
Install the additional repo
rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
Update repository
yum -y update
Install all necessary packages
yum install SDL-devel a52dec a52dec-devel alsa-lib-devel faac faac-devel faad2 faad2-devel yum install freetype-devel giflib gsm gsm-devel imlib2 imlib2-devel lame lame-devel libICE-devel libSM-devel libX11-devel yum install libXau-devel libXdmcp-devel libXext-devel libXrandr-devel libXrender-devel libXt-devel yum install libid3tag libogg-devel libvorbis-devel mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel xorg-x11-proto-devel xvidcore xvidcore-devel zlib-devel yum install amrnb-devel amrwb-devel yum install libtheora libtheora-devel yum install glibc gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake libtool yum install subversion yum install ncurses-devel yum install libdc1394 libdc1394-devel yum install yasm nasm
Install the essential codecs from FFmepg
wget http://www3.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20071007.tar.bz2
bunzip2 all-20071007.tar.bz2; tar xvf all-20071007.tar
mkdir /usr/local/lib/codecs/
mkdir /usr/local/lib64/codecs/
cp all-20071007/* /usr/local/lib/codecs/
cp all-20071007/* /usr/local/lib64/codecs/
chmod -R 755 /usr/local/lib/codecs/
chmod -R 755 /usr/local/lib64/codecs/
Grab FFmpeg
svn checkout -r 20525 svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
Grab the x264 library
wget ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/snapshots/x264-snapshot-20091031-2245.tar.bz2
bunzip2 x264-snapshot-20091031-2245.tar.bz2; tar xvf x264-snapshot-20091031-2245.tar
Make sure x264 has not been installed
yum erase x264*
Compile x264
cd x264 ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr make make install
Compile FFmpeg (the configure options have to be on one line)
cd ffmpeg ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-libfaad --enable-avfilter --enable-pthreads \ --enable-libxvid --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaac --disable-ffserver --disable-ffplay \ --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --disable-ffplay --enable-shared --enable-avfilter-lavf --arch=x86_64 make make install
(The –arch=x86_64 option should only be used if you are on a 64Bit System!)
Edit ld.so.conf
vi /etc/ld.so.conf
add this new line
/usr/local/lib
Activate the shared libraries
ldconfig
That’s it. This should give you a full functional FFMpeg installation for Razuna. Test it now with;
ffmpeg
This should give you the following back (yours might vary a bit);
FFmpeg version SVN-r20525, Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Fabrice Bellard, et al. configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-libfaad --enable-avfilter --enable-pthreads --enable-libxvid --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaac --disable-ffserver --disable-ffplay --enable-libamr-nb --enable-libamr-wb --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --disable-ffplay --enable-shared libavutil 50. 4. 0 / 50. 4. 0 libavcodec 52.39. 0 / 52.39. 0 libavformat 52.39. 2 / 52.39. 2 libavdevice 52. 2. 0 / 52. 2. 0 libavfilter 1. 8. 0 / 1. 8. 0 libswscale 0. 7. 1 / 0. 7. 1 libpostproc 51. 2. 0 / 51. 2. 0
(your output might vary a bit)
Try to convert a movie with;
ffmpeg -i movie.mov -vcodec libx264 -vpre hq -acodec libfaac movie.mp4
If above fails you can try to compile each library on your own.
Please follow the below steps one by one to install FFMpeg on CentOS/RedHat 5.x. successfully.
Getting Started
razuna:$ razuna:$ mkdir -p ./tmp/ffmpeg-packages razuna:$ cd ./tmp/ffmpeg-packages

razuna:$ ./configure
razuna:$ make && make install

Installing yasm
YASM is a modular assembler, it is required by the x264 package.
razuna:$ wget http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-0.7.0.tar.gz
razuna:$ tar zfvx yasm-0.7.0.tar.gz
razuna:$ cd yasm-0.7.0
razuna:$ ./configure
razuna:$ make && make install
razuna:$ cd ..
Installing x264
razuna:$ git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
razuna:$ cd x264
razuna:$ ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install

Installing FFmpeg
For FFMPEG, you will need to get the latest out of SVN. FFMPEG doesn’t ever make releases. To do so, run:
(the configure options have to be on one line)
razuna:$ svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
razuna:$ cd ffmpeg
razuna:$ ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-postproc --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc \
--enable-libfaad --enable-avfilter --enable-pthreads --enable-libxvid \
--enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaac --disable-ffserver --disable-ffplay
razuna:$ make
razuna:$ make install

Alternate to VMPS / Dynamic VLAN assignment on routers
As VMPS implementation is now a thing of past on most routers specially Cisco, an open source software based solution is available for those who still need Dynamic VLANs in their network. Information is available at URL below:

Wireshark on MAC
Wireshark under MAC uses X-11 to run and on BSD-flavored systems, such as OS X, libpcap opens a BPF device to do a capture. You’d need to make the BPF devices on your system readable by you in order to capture (you could also run Wireshark as root, but that’s overkill, and runs a rather large chunk of code as root).
You could do
sudo chown {your account name} /dev/bpf*
to do that, but that would have to be done after every reboot. To do that automatically, you could install the ChmodBPF startup item from recent versions of libpcap on your system in /Library/StartupItems and edit the commands in the StartService() shell function in ChmodBPF/ChmodBPF to do the appropriate chown and possibly chmod commands.
