18 replies [Last post]

Hi,need help,i am unable to find out that how to download ffmpeg from their website http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ ,iam not getting where soulld i click on this site to download the ffmpeg,plzzzzzz help

Are you looking for a version of ffmpeg for Windows or *nix?

For both but iam not getting where should i have to click on ffmpeg website to download it. i want to download for both linux and windows

For Windows, get the Windows binaries here: http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/ffmpeg/
You could also Google "ffmpeg Windows bianries"

For Linux: http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/download.html
You will have to compile it yourself. Depending on what flavor of Linux you are using, there may be pre-compiled binaries available. Google "ffmpeg (replace with your flavor of Linux)".

i did it on windows,ffmpeg is working great,as iam new to linux,and m realy not getting what files should i download from http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/download.html page to run on linux, i think i have to download files from http://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk/ page but iam not sure, there are many files,which files should i download and how can i compile it on linux,iam using OpenSuse 10.2. please help

@Sandy,

                         Once again [i]"Google is our friend"[/i].

Google "ffmpeg OpenSuse"

It looks like this site may have an ffmpeg package that will work for you: http://packman.links2linux.org/package/223

Thanks :)

Pleas Help Me HOW TO install FFMPEG - Web Hosting

I've find it

what ffmpeg file should i download?? would it be the first one?? tnx

hi

if u give the installation procedure that is good

Yes please! Installation procedure is necessary

I have downloaded 2 exe files ffmpeg.exe and ffplay.exe and one dll called pthreadGC2.dll.
But when starting the exe files, no GUI is opening. Only commandline. How to do?

hi still havent got any idea on how to use the ffmpeg, ive been trying to install it but still i dont think i got the idea.. do i still need to compile it on wndows, if so how?

You have two options:

1.) Get the source and compile it yourself, but as is see in all your threads above, theres no way to explain it to you all so that you will get a proper install.

2.) Get precompiled binaries. You can find them easy with Google: "ffmpeg windows binaries"

Once you have compile or downloaded them, you should have some *.exe-Files (if you use windows). One of them is ffmpeg.exe. Its a commandline based tool. That means, open a console (cmd.exe) and go to the directory where ffmpeg.exe is (cd c:\your\path\to\ffmpeg\). Once you are there type "ffmpeg" and hit enter. When you see some text lines with various numbers and options, etc. and you dont understand anything, you are right.
Now you can use ffmpeg to convert movies for example: "ffmpeg -i yourFile.mpg -sameq outputFile.avi"

The rest of the options are quite difficult and you just have to read the documentation (or better google for examples, thats a lot easier).
