Tom Purl<br><br>> I'm an Ubuntu user and can't transcode. I read that this is due to a<br>> problem with the default version of ffmpeg, so I compiled the latest<br>> SVN code from source. Here's the configure command that I used:
<br>><br>> ./configure --enable-mp3lame --enable-libogg --enable-vorbis \<br>> > --enable-faad --enable-faac --enable-libgsm --enable-xvid \<br>> > --enable-gpl<br>><br>> This successfully installed ffmpeg under /usr/local/bin. I then
<br>> deleted the Ubuntu version so that MythTv would be sure to pick the<br>> right version.<br>><br>> THe problem is that I'm getting the following error message in my<br>> mythbackend log file when I try and transcode:
