OpenSUSE :: Are There Any Packages Available For Ffmpeg
Jun 5, 2010
I would like to start working with webm (On2 vp8 codec) with ffmpeg.Are there any packages available for ffmpeg that have the necessary support for creating .webm videos? But I still unable to successfully encode to webm with ffmpeg.Am I missing anything obvious?I want to avoid compiling a new ffmpeg as I am currently doing commercial video work and don't want to risk "breaking" my machine.
I just upgraded from 11.2 to 11.4 and the installation/upgrade worked just perfect. I than followed the instructions in the "New User How To/FAQ", "Multimedia and restricted format" post. I was following the instruction in the 11.4 section. I added the additional repositories as explained. I then was on the section where it talks about going into software management and selecting the "Packman" repository and clicking to "switch systems packages" to the versions in this repository (packman). I than click this link and the "warning" screen appears and I am present with conflict resolution after conflict resolution dialog. It just seems that there are some many conflicts, it just seems wrong and I canceled.
The installation/upgrade appears to have worked just fine. My mail is there, audio and dvd play back worked the first try after the upgrade. I am not clear if this is what I should expect or their is something wrong or if I even need to complete this step for a successfully installation.
I've been having a somewhat disagreeable problem updating ffmpeg and all the other resources that need updating (libavcodec52 et al) for some time now. I'm asked to delete most of the software/libs that are needed for certain software (2man2dvd, etc...). At times it looks like I have some serious contortions to go through in order to update these rpm's. I'm using 11.0.
I use Audacity quite a lot for conversion of a voice recorder, to convert WMA to FLACWhen I used it Mar 24 it worked, when used it Mar 26 it didn't.I used the locate pointed it to libavcodec.so.52 like it had there & it tells me it can't find it! At first I thought it was an update I'd done from the Packman reposonly when I went to Yast to revert only the most recent update was in there, no prior versions. Yet I Know that ffmpeg was among the updates it was blue when I did it then.Other distro's don't have this problem only Suse who or where or what should I do so that Audacity works in Suse again?
I checked for updates today and noticed that the Packman repository have switched to the new forked FFmpeg library: LibAV. This include gstreamer and other dependent libraries.
VLC runs without a problem but i wonder what other applications depending on FFmpeg will not run...
It looks like FFmpeg was removed from the repository.
I'm writing a wrapper for FFMPEG and need help of a multimedia guru. The more I read about containers, formats and codecs the more confused I become, it all seems to be a pretty big mess. To convert a video file with ffmpeg you need to specify a few arguments for ffmpeg:
- input file - some video/audio options (bit rates, sizes and so on) - format (to force format) - codec (to force codec) - output file
My confusion is all about the format and output file extension. If I want to encode my file in MPEG-4, I'll use either 'libx264' or 'libxvid' codec. Then the encoded stream needs to be stored in a file. If I use '.mp4' as the output file, it'll be stored in that file. If I use '.mkv', the video will still be MPEG-4 but stored in a Matroska container. But what do I do with the format option? When I force the format to 'mp4', does it mean I don't have to enter output file, it'll be stored as '.mp4' anyway? Or if I use '-matroska' will I still have to put it into a container '.mkv'? Can I use a '-matroska' format but '.mp4' output file for example?
What's the difference between the format and output file in this context? Or what does forcing the format really do?
I've probably exhausted all possible ffmpeg argument combinations for encoding with a libx264 codec - none worked, the codec always either segfaults or tells me incorrect parameters. I've installed, uninstalled and re-installed all available versions of the codec - no difference. Did anyone have any luck with it? Are there any tricks or conflicts in different arguments? Does the input file have to be in any particular container/format/codec for the x264 to work on?
My examples: >ffmpeg -i video.mpg -vcodec libx264 video.mkv >... Error while opening encoder for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height >ffmpeg -i video.mpg -vcodec libx264 -b 4000 -s hd1080 -f h264 video.mkv Same error If I use any other codec, they all work fine. give a working ffmpeg arguments example,
I am having problems with ffmpeg. My goal is to capture a video stream from my webcam and feed that into a webcam-capturing program. But to get that to work, I will need ffmpeg to work. I need the following command to work, but I get an error:
Code: $ ffmpeg -b 100K -an -f video4linux2 -s 320x240 -r 10 -i $device -b 100K -f image2pipe -vcodec mjpeg - | perl -pi -e 's/\xFF\xD8/KIRSLESEP\xFF\xD8/ig' ffmpeg: relocation error: /usr/lib/libavfilter.so.2: symbol avformat_find_stream_info, version LIBAVFORMAT_53 not defined in file libavformat.so.53 with link time reference
I'm trying to record a video with sound through FFmpeg, and while it records the system sounds just fine, it doesn't record the microphone (in fact, it crashes on doing so!). The strange thing is that if I use arecord, it works just perfectly, but through ffmpeg it crashes.This is the command that I use to launch FFmpeg:
my problem is as follow: Found many tutorials for YOU servers, teaching how to make it function like a mirror with files from sources-sites. BUT! I have to add other packages in my server, then the terminals [erh... quite A LOT of terminals] can download from it.These packages are not listed at sourcelist, they will be completely optional ones.So... how can I do it?
I would like to install development tools / libs, such as gcc. But I haven't selected them during the opensuse 11.2 x64 installation, and when I use the yast2/software management to install programming packages, there are many items, and I don't know which should/should not be installed. Even when I select all to install, it seems many conflicts reported. So is there any easy way to install the development packages properly, without reinstalling the os?
Could anyone let me which repository I need for Maxima? Also, I installed Octave from a different repository but I can't seem to find any of the additional packages, like the signals package for example.
Is there any repo where we can find KDE 4.4.3 packages?We have used to get the latest stable KDE at the day of release (that means today for KDE 4.4.3).
What's the command to remove obsulete packages? Those packages are not needed as dependencies of other packages.
During installing a package many packages/libraries are installed as dependencies. After removing that package the packages/libraries are in partition.
Now what's the way to remove those unnecessary libraries?
in yast> software installation how can i configure it to download all packages first then install them (as ubuntu does) rather than downloading each package and kimmediately installing it.
I get messages saying packages are missing from packman I have the repo enabled it seems to complain a lot about libxine1, here's one of the error messages
Code: Retrieving package libxine1-1.1.16.3-1.pm.25.1.x86_64 (1/19), 2.3 MiB (5.8 MiB unpacked) Retrieving: libxine1-1.1.16.3-1.pm.25.1.x86_64.rpm [error] File './x86_64/libxine1-1.1.16.3-1.pm.25.1.x86_64.rpm' not found on medium 'http://packman.jacobs-university.de/suse/11.2/
On Debian repo I found virtualbox-ose packages there. What will be the difference in operation/function between their packages and the packages download on virtualbox.org website?
On Fedora repo I found VirtualBox-ose packages there. What will be the difference in operation/function between their packages and the packages download on virtualbox.org website?
Whenever I do sudo apt-get or use the Ubuntu Software Center, I can't download anything because a message comes up saying "Action requires installation of untrusted packages: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." I've been trying to download GIMP and Thunderbird, so... I dunno what the problem is.
I am working on a project which targets both 32 and 64 bit architectures at the moment. My system is amd64. I added i386 architecture using this guide. However, my problem is
Code: Select allapt-get install package-name:i386
prompts the removal of currently installed packages (amd64 arch.) which is the problem.
Code: Select allReading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libportaudio0:i386
[Code] ...
Some of the packages I am talking about are
-libegl1-mesa-dev:i386 -libportaudio-dev:i386
Now, as of now, I want to carry out the compilation using 32 bit libraries, however, I really don't want to install 64bit version of all prerequisites each time I switch the compilation from 32 bit to 64. Is there any way to have both architectures at the same time?
Is there a way using dpkg or apt-get to segregate user application packages from system packages? What I envision is an /apps directory structure that can be the install target for selected packages so not to "clutter" the storage areas for the system administration files/packages - maybe even with permissions set so that (a GROUP of) users could install packages on an Ubuntu server w/o SysAdmin guidance. This could also allow 1)system upgrades with or w/o including these packages, and 2)the sharing of /apps (via NFS) among common Ubuntu systems. Is this doable using the dpkg or apt maintenance tools?
I need help to resolve this problem, i can't update opensuse 11.2, becouse show me a download error...i tried do it manually but still give me that error. i opened a terminal and they show me this code...
but if a lock in software repositories, the direction is only this: Index of /debug/distribution/11.2/repo/oss, and if i start the software manager, this continue give me that message. soo please i need help, becouse this is my first time installing this, and i need to give a very quickly s solution.
Is it possible to configure Yast Software Manager module so that it does not completely exit when done installing a package? It get's annoying to search for a package and install it, the software manager exits, you then have to reopen it, install another etc. a few minutes later.
Seems this would be a config option, but if so I can't seem to find it.
Are you using one of these ? : deb or rpm orphan ? Are they ok to remove old packages not used anymore , or have you got some others tools or intesresting tips for doing so
I have KDevelop installed it tells me i dont have cmake so i installed one now when i created my project, it says it doesnt find the included Qt libraries i wonder if there is a pattern to install all KDevelop and Qt stuff? I am using openSUSE11.4 KDE isnt KDE built on Qt? how come there is no Qt libraries onboard?
