1080p HD VP8 - Compile FFmpeg & x264 For Ubuntu 10.10 - NEW easy Script

10.10 - NEW easy Script
http://pastebin.com/NHXrsBxm

NEW auto "do everything script" with Git
In this tutorial I will first manually show you how to step by step properly compile from git FFmpeg with qt-faststart and x264 for Ubuntu Maverick 10.10. This install includes everything you need for screencasting, awesome transcoding, encoding and more.

I also wrote a script that will automate everything for you. The script will install everything you see in this video. Has a one click update from git for everything that installed and most important has a one click option to remove everything that has been installed. Everything is shown in the video. My script can be seen at :

or downloaded from

http://www.eriks.homeunix.com/ffmpegx264.sh

As new Ubuntu versions come Ill make new videos and write new scripts. If there are any functions that you guys want in the script and video just tell me.

@JackPidwell Nice to see you're using Debian. The worlds best distro =). ArchLinux is a close 2ed. I am using Debian with the testing repos. More or less Wheezy. Can't stand the God aweful mess called Unity. Gnome3 is almost as bad imho. I have some updated scripts that work just fine on Debian and Mint (Debian Based). Quite a few changes have been made as the x264, ffmpeg projects progressed. Ill drop the new Debian/Mint scripts in a few days at pastebin.com/u/Onryo

@0nryo thanks mate :) and thanks for the reply. i think it actually worked, but im not really shure, because i didnt replace "homepath=/home/erik/git-svn" with my username (afaik one just has to replace erik for its username). so it "cloned(?)" i think, but the report was that i post here. when you do update the script let me an us know! & btw, do you hv a homepage or smth? ;)

concerning gnome3: i have to tell, it has grown on me. i actually like it.thoug it needs to b polished.

@JackPidwell Just pick "delete all" and change the path to ie /home/you/sandbox and then reinstall. I rolled an upgrade script for for Debian wheezy/testing and Mint. Should get you up to speed on some of the new things in the projects. I like using checkinstall since I often compile stuff in a VM then install the debs on my host. No fancy msg yet. Porting it to C with QT (blinky GUI) . The Debian upgrade script is at pastebin.com/u/Onryo All the best Onryo

[JackPidwell]

@0nryo delete all? how?

btw, i really think you should keep the path to ie. videoland's website for x264 updating and downloading, mate. things are a bit moer updated than the debian repos and backports. i've recently moved on to crunchbang linux, wich is puredebian with openbox DE, ill give this a go later on. i do hv a few questions concerning video encoding, can i send u pm?

kudos

@JackPidwell Sry about the repeated replys. Gnash and youtube ...The update script I put up will still get its source from the x264 head at git.videolan. Git was defined at install. Check by going into your x264 dir and then hit this cmd. git log | head | grep -m 1 commit | sed -e s/commit//g -e 's/[[:space:]]//g' Then go take a look at the x264 dev site git.videolan.org/?p=x264.git;a­=summary and look at the last update there. Commit strings should be the same. Sure you can pm me

[JackPidwell]

@0nryo lol. i cant seem to pm you... :\

[JackPidwell]

i'll try to run this over debian wheezy and will repot shortly ;)

kudos
