How to install FFMPEG on CentOS (The easy way)

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

If you are looking to do some video encoding the “cheap” way, then you need to install FFMPEG. If you are a CentOS junkie like me, then this is how you do it:

Code:
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo

Insert

Code:
[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

Now run yum update

After that look for ffmpeg (yum list ffmpeg) and install it… (yum install ffmpeg)

That’s it! On my next post I’ll add some ffmpeg tricks and tips.
