Details ffmpeg for Interpid (Jaunty)

Intrepid contains a pretty complete ffmpeg already, but you probably want to have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed which should pull in the 'unstripped' versions of several libraries. You can also look for them directly: libavcodec-unstripped-51, libavutil-unstripped-49 and libavformat-unstripped-52 from the multiverse repository.

Bug #291011 in Medibuntu: “Medibuntu ffmpeg for Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid missing”

An "unstripped" build of ffmpeg is now included in the Ubuntu official repositories (intrepid/multiverse). You need to install the following libraries:

libavcodec-unstripped-51

libavdevice-unstripped-52

libavformat-unstripped-52

libavutil-unstripped-49

libpostproc-unstripped-51

libswscale-unstripped-0

Note that they should be automatically pulled in if you install ubuntu-restricted-extras (ou kubuntu-restricted-extras or xubuntu-restricted-extras).

Please, instead of blaming us, run "ffmpeg -formats" to find the correct
names (it seems they have changed).

[*] AMR support is not available in the Ubuntu package, because I
haven't had the time to update the patch which allows using libamr at
runtime. There is a candidate package available at
https://launchpad.net/~medibuntu-maintainers/+archive if you want to
check it.
