Is there sth like a lil guide on howto download an install ffmpeg (guess it will only be ./configure ./make and ./make install ? ) , and how to frameserve/encode avi/vob files? (params needed etc.)

I am trying to find my Suse8.2 CDs and do a nice lil Linux install to test a bit *g*

(I guess I could work this stuff out on my own... but as school starts in 2 days, I have to do lots of other things too )


BTW... is there a GUI?

It's that way, unless you use FreeBSD, where you do a: cd /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg
Then do a "make && make install"
Then no need to find dependencies, as FreeBSD ports collection manages all needed downloads and compilations automatically
As for frameserving, ffmpeg supports reading from TCP/IP, etc., so maybe frameserve from a Windows PC with VirtualDub to a socket (if there's a way to do that! ), and encode from the MAC with ffmpeg. This way, we could use all our sweet avisynth filters on the PC side, and let the encode be done over IP on the MAC

For Mac OS X, there's ffmpegX. For other unixes, I'm not aware on any right now.
