Installing FFMPEG (and FlashVideo) on Ubuntu!

I just found a fantastic article online about how to install FFMPEG on Ubuntu...and what do you know? They did it so that they could use the FlashVideo Module. I hope everyone finds this article as helpful as I did....

Here is the link....

Although this is a GREAT tutorial, there are some things that I had to do different to get it to work on my machine. You might have to do the same... Here are those things.

In step 5 of his tutorial, I guess there was a copy and paste error. You will need to replace each long bar before the enable and disable commands and replace it with -- (two dashes)... You might also need to make sure that there is a space between each --enable command and the next one...
I was not able to run the command using --enable-xvid and --enable-dc1394. I just removed them from the command, and my module will work just fine.
You might find some other modules that it complains about... try typing sudo apt-get install [module]-dev in your terminal, where you will just replace [module] with the module that it is complaining about
When you install ffmpeg, the path that it will be located will be /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg... The default for FlashVideo module is /usr/bin/ffmpeg. You can either change each node type for the FlashVideo module, OR you can just type the following command in your terminal to copy the ffmpeg to the /usr/bin/ffmpeg directory.... cp /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg
I had to edit the FlashVideo settings and open up the FFMPEG Settings, under the ffmpeg command, I had to replace -acodec mp3 with -acodec libmp3lame
