############################################################################## # INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR TRANSCODER UTILITIES ############################################################################## # NOTE: # These are the steps that work to install the various transcoder utilities # and system tools that power the WordPress.com video subsystem. # # Currently this is mainly deployed on a standard Debian Etch installation # on AMD64 processors (2.6.18-6-amd64) in our environment. # # This should be used as a guide, rather than a step by step install routine. # You might not need all of these utilities, or you might need more of them, # or, more likely, there are newer releases of these available and it will # probably make sense to use the latest releases. You might need different # versions of these tools if you are on a different platform. # # Some of these steps are Debian specific, some are not. Please use the tools # available on your platform where needed. ############################################################################## #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Step 1: Install some required system libraries #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# apt-get install ruby make nasm zlib1g-dev wget autoconf automake libtool g++ subversion #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Step 2: Download and install FLVTool # FLVTool2 is a manipulation tool for Macromedia Flash Video files #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/17497/flvtool2-1.0.6.tgz tar -zxf flvtool2-1.0.6.tgz cd flvtool2-1.0.6 ruby setup.rb cd ../ #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Step 3: Download and install LAME # LAME: LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/lame/lame-3.97.tar.gz tar -zxf lame-3.97.tar.gz cd lame-3.97 ./configure --disable-decoder --enable-nasm && make && make install cd ../ #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Step 4: Download and install FAAD # FAAD: Freeware Advanced Audio Coder and Decoder #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/faac/faad2-2.6.1.tar.gz tar -zxf faad2-2.6.1.tar.gz cd faad2 autoreconf -vif && ./configure --with-mp4v2 && make && make install cd ../ #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Step 5: Download and install FAAC # FAAC: Freeware Advanced Audio Coder and Decoder #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/faac/faac-1.26.tar.gz tar -zxf faac-1.26.tar.gz cd faac autoreconf -vif && ./configure && make && make install cd ../ #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Step 6: Download and install YASM # YASM: Yasm, the modular assembler #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# wget http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-0.7.1.tar.gz tar -zxvf yasm-0.7.1.tar.gz cd yasm-0.7.1 ./configure && make && make install cd ../ #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Step 7: Download and install x264 # x264: x264 is a free library for encoding H264/AVC video streams #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# wget http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/snapshots/x264-snapshot-20080702-2245.tar.bz2 bunzip2 x264-snapshot-20080702-2245.tar.bz2 tar -xvf x264-snapshot-20080702-2245.tar cd x264-snapshot-20080702-2245 ./configure --enable-pthread --enable-shared --prefix=/usr && make && make install cd ../ #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Step 8: Download and install ffmpeg # ffmpeg is a command line tool to convert multimedia files between formats. #----------------------------------------------------------------------------# svn checkout -r13780 svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg cd ffmpeg ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-postproc --enable-pthreads --enable-libvorbis --enable-liba52 --enable-libgsm --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libdc1394 --disable-debug --enable-shared --prefix=/usr --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaac --enable-libx264 && make && make install echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf /sbin/ldconfig make tools/qt-faststart mv tools/qt-faststart /usr/bin
