Great walkthrough, i finally made it and this with no expert knowledge (except this one here).

Would vote two thumbs up! Thanks a lot.

Video rendering now starts!

BTW can i delete the lame and ffmpeg folder afterwards?

@JawBacca Hmmm, never tried. But your welcome to move it, to experiment if you like.

I created a ffmeg folder in my home folder and copied and pasted the command just as illustrated in you tutorial. I receive the error: "command not found." Mind you everything has worked smoothly up until now, am I missing something? Thanks for your help!

@ilakai are you sure you spelled ffmpeg correctly? Paste to me what your typing when you get that error.

just to recap the full error is:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [libavdevice/libavdevice.52.dy­lib] Error 1

Hey savage video very concise! I've managed everything you showed us except when at the very end when I type "sudo make install" followed by my password it fais on me giving this: make: *** [libavdevice/libavdevice.52.dy­lib] Error 1

any help would be greatly appreciated!

this's a great and clear tutorial. However, I have a problem at the last step. After I use the command line to give the last command, sudo make install, there're few lines start and show it's installing ffmpeg.

But it shows,

INSTALL install-libs

install: ffmpeg: Inappropriate file type or format

make: *** [install-progs] Error 71

and stoped.

Could anyone give me a help?

I've tried this for few days and fail at the last step.

Awesome video. I liked how you started the video right off with the tutorial, instead of wasting 30 seconds introducing yourself.

Its works up into the point when i put ....svn checkout svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/tr­unk ffmpeg..... it says Checked out revision 26402. please help

Thanks, great video tutorial which helped me make sense from the web tutorial which basically assumed the reader knew enough. I have just followed the process and now have the Firefox add-on DownloadHelper able to convert all sorts of web video directly from the browser...cool and simple. downloadhelper net
