Installing FFmpeg, MPlayer and MEncoder on CPanel and Centos 6 on Hyper-V

You need FFmpeg, MPlayer and MEncoder for video processing. I’ll show you how to install and configure it on Hyper-V.
I’ve already posted couple of articles about CentOS 6 installation on Hyper-V, so I won’t mention about that again.

You can see CentOS 6 installation on Hyper-V at the following posts:

http://www.yusufozturk.info/linux-server/centos-6-desktop-installation-on-hyper-v-and-mouse-support-part2.html

So I assume you have a CentOS 6 with Hyper-V LIS v3.1. So lets continue with our installation.
First, we need to install RPMforge repository on CentOS 6.

1. Install the DAG GPG key.

rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

2. Download RPMforge-release package.

cd /home
wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm (if your server x86)
wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

3. Verify the RPMforge-release package you have downloaded.

rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

4. Install the RPMforge-release package.

rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

5. Now we can install FFmpeg, MPlayer and MEncoder.

yum install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel mplayer mencoder

6. You may get this error when you try to install components.

Requires: perl-SGMLSpm >= 1.03ii

7. Download perl-SGMLSpm package to CentOS.

wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/archive.fedoraproject.org/fedora/linux/core/3/x86_64/os/Fedora/RPMS/perl-SGMLSpm-1.03ii-14.noarch.rpm

8. perl-SGMLSpm may require OpenJade.

9. Let’s install openjade on CentOS.

yum install openjade

10. Try re-install perl-SGMLSpm.

rpm -ivh perl-SGMLSpm-1.03ii-14.noarch.rpm

11. After perl-SGMLSpm installation, you can continue to install FFmpeg, MPlayer and MEncoder.

yum install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel mplayer mencoder

12. Now, you can test your ffmpeg installation.

ffmpeg -v

If you see same results on your server, it means your ffmpeg is ready.

Hello,

I wrote CPanel because I installed them after CPanel installation. I mean there is no bad effect on CPanel, you can safely install.

Thanks.

I successfully got ffmpeg installed, thanks to your tutorial. The issue I have is that it appears as though the vorbis ogg audio codec only supports decoding, not encoding. From what I have read, this is a compile option for ffmpeg. Do you know anything about this?

ffmpeg -acodec shows ogg, but only with the ‘D’ flag, not ‘E’

All I get is “-bash: ffmpeg: command not found” – how do I fix that?
