I already have ffMpeg running on my test server. I would want to convert all possible audio files to mp3.
I get the error 'codec not found'.
here's what i typed:
/var/www/i/uploads$ sudo /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i a.mp3 -f mp3 con.mp3

First, I see this is on an Ubuntu machine, so let me first suggest you go tothe Ubuntu wiki ffmpeg page.
Basically, what you want to do is compile ffmpeg from source so it includes libmp3lame. They tell you how to make your ffmpeg with more option on this page. When you commence the build with ./configure, you need to add --enable-libmp3lame
The link in the selected answer is now obsolete. On Kubuntu 11.04 (and above), do:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-53The solution may be to compile ffmpeg manually:
The post suggests to compile x264 and ffmpeg yourself. But use x264 from Ubuntu and compile just ffmpeg is enough. So, here are the steps. Start by removing ffmpeg and making sure x264 is properly installed.
apt-get remove ffmpeg
apt-get update
apt-get install libx264-106 libx264-dev x264 Then, login as root, download, compile and install ffmpeg:
su -
svn checkout svn:// ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
./configure --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-x11grab
make
make installFor coding in mp3, in gentoo I have added the "mp3" USE flag, it's add the lame support.
USE="mp3" emerge ffmpegTo install the right codecs using Aptitude:
sudo apt-get install libmp3lame-devDepending on the distro you are using and build of FFmpeg an older solution may be the one which works.
If FFmpeg has been installed using source then it will have to be reconfigured, built and installed with the respective switches for the codecs you want.
./configure --enable-libmp3lame
make
make installI forgot the exact procedure, but I used avconv to convert my MP4 to FLV, and then use ffmpeg to convert the FLV to SWF. It worked.
