README

        
FFMPEG and Mencoder builder is a `buildout `_ based script to automatically

download FFMPEG and MPlayer, configure them and compile them for your usage.

Both have dependencies to various codec libraries. Due to copyright and patent reason,

distributing working binaries on all platforms is difficult. If you want to use all codecs

of ffmpeg or Mencoder you need to build them by hand which is very tendious process.

This script should easily give you the latest ffmpeg and mencoder versions available.

Design goals

------------

* Get it done with three line of commands

* Portable: Work across OSX, Linux and Win32

* Repeatable - maintaining and tailoring the build process is easy, patches and configuration fixes are scripted

* Aimed for video file batch processing - players are not considered

Prerequisitements

-----------------

Please install the following before starting

* Python

* Perl (note: this will go away needed for just one liner script)

* All build essentials needed for your operating system

On OSX XCode and `Macports  commands`_ are handy.

	

On Ubuntu/Debian the following should get you started::

	sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ python perl yasm

Libraries

---------

Currently the script compiles static builds of

* ffmpeg

* mencoder (mplayer)

and their dependencies and build dependencies:

* yasm

* gpac

* faad

* faac

* libx264

Tested

------

The building script is tested on the following operating systems

* OSX 10.5 Leopard

* Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

Usage

-----

Download `buildout source code from GitHub `_. Use wget or your browser to download::

  wget http://github.com/miohtama/ffmpegandmencoderbuilder/tarball/master

Extract it (note: filename may change):

  tar -xzf miohtama-ffmpegandmencoderbuilder-6b3b3b3.tar.gz

  

... or alternatively if you have Git version control client installed you can checkout the source tree::

	git clone git://github.com/miohtama/ffmpegandmencoderbuilder.git

Bootstrap buildout. This will download necessary files to run buildout::

  cd miohtama-ffmpegandmencoderbuilder-6b3b3b3

  python bootstrap.py

Run buildout to compile::

  bin/buildout

  

If some of the parts fais to build you need to remove it's work files and rerun buildout::

  rm -rf parts/gpac*

  bin/buildout
