   Thanks George, that one really helped me set it up on my dedicated server. Well done, this was a useful tutorial.

   what about for 32bit CentOS 5 with DirectAdmin.
   would you know install for that one.

   I presume you’re referring to DirectAdmin web control panel in which case I don’t have an install guide. .

   A quick look around the net indicated that a base 34bit CentOS server installation is all that is needed to run the “setup” script. Unfortunately there is a cost involved with DirectAdmin, so I am unable to test it out.

   Im trying your install method on a 64bit Centos5.4.
   This part is not clear to me.

   all in one line?
   yum install ffmpeg-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm ffmpeg-devel-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm ffmpeg-libpostproc-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm

   or one part at a time?
   yum install ffmpeg-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm
   yum install ffmpeg-devel-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm
   yum install ffmpeg-libpostproc-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm

   thanks for the other articles, very useful, please do apply more for Centos5.x.

   and 1 other question, what about Flvtool2, can I just add:
   http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/flvtool2/flv...
   to the line above to install, but where?
   like this?
   # yum install ffmpeg-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm ffmpeg-devel-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm ffmpeg-libpostproc-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm flvtool2-1.0.6-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm

   What you need to do is download the ffmpeg rpm's from the links above. So # wget http://www.how2centos.com/wp-content/plugins/do... then once you've downloaded all three you can run the yum install section.

   Please take note that I rebuilt those from the .spec files supplied from the DAG repository. So if you're planning on upgrading in the future please make sure that the new packages are enabled with AMR support.

   If you have the RPMForge repository enabled you will be able to run a # yum install flvtool2

   However if you download the rpm to the same directory as the custom ones I have supplied you'll be able to run # yum install ffmpeg-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm ffmpeg-devel-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm ffmpeg-libpostproc-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm flvtool2-1.0.6-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm

   thanks, installed first time no error. Tested on a site, and the only problem I came accross in a log file was the conversion of the video have an error.
   /usr/bin/ffmpeg: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/ffmpeg: undefined symbol: frame_hook_process, video not converting.
   Ive looked around and most threads mention possible lib conflict with another ffmpeg version, But this is the only version I installed. Is it possible, when using yum it upgraded your copy. Thats what it looks like. But have you seen this before : /usr/bin/ffmpeg: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/ffmpeg: undefined symbol: frame_hook_process and a possible work around.

    Never see that error before. Try removing the RPM's # yum remove xyz and install them via # rpm -ivh ffmpeg-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm ffmpeg-devel-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm ffmpeg-libpostproc-0.4.9-0.9.20070530.x86_64.rpm flvtool2-1.0.6-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm

    You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: package-cleanup –problems
    package-cleanup –dupes
    rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest
    The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
