Installing ffmpeg on CentOs the easy way

Hi,

The easiest way to install ffmpeg on CentOs 5.x is by installing from RPMforge.

Login via ssh root to your server and type the following command:
x86:

 rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

x86_64:

 rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS//rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

This will add a new yum repository, GPG keys that are for safelly installing RPMforge packages.

Now type:

yum install ffmpeg

Done! The ffmpeg path is: /usr/bin/ffmpeg

If you also need ffmpeg-devel (for example to compile ffmpeg-php), just type:

yum install ffmpeg-devel

This works perfectly with Adult Video Script, Clipshare and MediaXXXScript, running on CentOs 5.x or RHEL 5.x.

Thats it
