I feel your pain, I tried to install FFMPEG a while back and getting all the codecs on the box was the killer, cheers for the info though, I'm glad I'm not alone.

Thanks guys,
I have tried endless tutorials, some successful, honestly the whole process of installing codecs, mplayer, flvtools, ffmpeg and ffmpeg-php is a right pain. Everything has to be installed in order and you may still encounter compile errors of all sorts.
In the end, I searched for a auto installer which compiles and install everything for you.
Yes, there are pros + cons and it may seem abit noobish but you will save hours if not days! So just for future reference, ill post some links in the thread.
FFMPEG AutoInstaller

http://scriptmantra.info/scripts/AAS...staller_5.0.6b (Best experience and recommended)
FFMPEG Guide and Tutorials (If you decide to 'do-it-yoursel')
http://linuxsysadminblog.com/2008/06...m-with-cpanel/
http://blog.pocko.org/2009/11/instal...lly-centos-52/
Just to end, those at http://scriptmantra.info/ are awesome, they will install ffmpeg and and a addtional codecs. They charge $15 which is a steal imo. However you can always go ahead and install the autoscript yourself.
I am surpised there is little mention of them on forums etc.

Have a look at this particular blog, which explains how to compile ffmpeg from scratch on Centos/RH. http://thenitai.com/2009/02/24/insta...-successfully/ (pay attention to some of the comments).

Usually i compile from source ( download from the svn ), that would get you the latest and greatest versions running.
for removing, you will have to check out the options on the software vendors webpage / mailing lists, honestly never had to remove these myself :-)
maybe someone else here knows for a fact how to remove them.

I have a project which I will be starting on soon. I basically need to generate a bunch of jpg's from video files within PHP.
I know I can do this using FFMPEG, But I am pulling my hair out just trying to install it!
I have refrained from using DAAG RPMs this time since I need the most recent version of FFMPEG, The ones on DAAG are like 4 years old.
- I'd like to know if there is an alternative to DAAG's repository, with more recent RPM's.
- The other alternative is using SVN.. However I to have the packages removable. e.g. yum remove ffmpeg.. and adding and removing codecs is a headache.
