In this how to i will describe how to install ffmpeg, mplayer, mencoder, flvtool2, ffmpeg-php with all supported codecs to convert / manipulate videos easily on CentOS 5.x. If you want to run sites like youtube e.g www.indianpad.in, www.danceindiadance.in this howto will help you to install the base for your software. There are many other way to perform this but this works for me, so i want to share.
1 Setting Up RPMForge Respository.
RPMForge repository (http://dag.wieers.com) is the biggest rpm respository for RHEL, CentOS for all versions. To enable RPMForge respository run following command to install all necessary files for getting RPMForge repository. The following command directly install rpm from http://da.wieers.com site.
For i386/i686
For 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 rpm will add necessary files in our repository configuration and can be viewed at /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo
2 Install ffmpeg, mplayer, mencoder with all supported modules.
Now we have rpmforge repository, so we will use yum to install ffmpeg, mplayer, mencoder as well as all dependent software.
yum -y install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel mplayer mencoder flvtool2
This command will some time to download and install all packages depends on your internet speed.
3 Install FFMPEG-PHP
ffmpeg-php is an extension for PHP that adds an easy to use, object-oriented API for accessing and retrieving information from video and audio files. ffmpeg-devel and php-devel is needed to compile ffmpeg-php from source code. Use following steps to install ffmpeg-php
cd /usr/src
wget http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2
tar jxvf ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2
cd ffmpeg-php-0.6.0
phpize
./configure
make
make install
wget http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2
tar jxvf ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2
cd ffmpeg-php-0.6.0
phpize
./configure
make
make install
It will copy the ffmpeg.so module in php default module location. Now you have to edit php.ini file to enable ffmpeg-php support in it by using ffmpeg.so module.
vi /etc/php.ini
and append following line
extension=ffmpeg.so
Restart apache service to take effect of php.ini
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Run following command to ffmpeg module listing in php.
php -m | grep ffmpeg
Note : If you get error after “make” command

==========================
Open the file under ffmpeg-php source directory
vi ffmpeg_frame.c
and replace all PIX_FMT_RGBA32 to /PIX_FMT_RGB32
or you can use search and replace like this
:%s/PIX_FMT_RGBA32/PIX_FMT_RGB32
