Build ffmpeg on CentOS 6.0 x64 for web videos mp4, webm, ogv

Working with one project, I was faced with the need to upload videos to the server (quality videos lasting 2-3 minutes), followed by their replication to S3 & distribution through CouldFront. On hosting costs Centos 6.0 x64. ffmpeg which in additional repositories unfortunately is shaggy version 6.1 and does not include vp8 and its ilk. Therefore, I had to deal with my own assembly. Unfortunately I didn’t find a sensible guide on the Internet, so after reading in the area on this topic I skated a guide to VirtualBox for myself. I would be glad if someone comes in handy. Libraries were selected last at the beginning of November.


I will describe the installation on a clean server. Some of the components that I used for my needs (mysql, httpd, etc) I threw away. First, update all packages and install the necessary from the standard repository

yum update && yum upgrade
yum install git wget man mlocate gcc gcc-c++ make check-devel libogg
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" -y

Add the path to the library search in the config:

echo /usr/local/lib >/etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf

Download the necessary sources:

cd /usr/local/src
git clone git://github.com/yasm/yasm.git yasm
git clone http://git.chromium.org/webm/libvpx.git libvpx
git clone git://git.videolan.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg 
git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git libx264
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/faac/faad2-src/faad2-2.7/faad2-2.7.tar.bz2
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/faac/files/faac-src/faac-1.28/faac-1.28.tar.gz
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lame/lame/3.99/lame-3.99.1.tar.gz
wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/theora/libtheora-1.1.1.tar.gz
wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/libvorbis-1.3.2.tar.gz

Unpack:

tar -xvf faad2-2.7.tar.bz2
tar -xvf faac-1.28.tar.gz
tar xf lame-3.99.1.tar.gz
tar xfv libtheora-1.1.1.tar.gz
tar xfv libvorbis-1.3.2.tar.gz

Well, we begin to collect.
Necessary library for libx264

cd yasm
./autogen.sh && make && make install

Add libraries for working with sound:

cd ../faad2-2.7
./configure --with-mp4v2
make clean && make && make install
cd ../faac-1.28
./configure --with-mp4v2
vi common/mp4v2/mpeg4ip.h
#comment line 126
#:126
#/*char *strcasestr(const char *haystack, const char *needle);*/
make clean && make && make install
cd ../lame-3.99.1
./configure
make clean && make && make install
cd ../libvorbis-1.3.2
./configure
make clean && make && make install
cd ../libtheora-1.1.1
./configure
make clean && make && make install

Next went the video:

cd ../libvpx
./configure --target=x86_64-linux-gcc  --enable-pic --enable-vp8 --enable-shared
make clean && make && make install
cd ../libx264/
./configure --enable-shared --enable-static --prefix=/usr
make clean && make && make install
cd ../ffmpeg/
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared  --enable-libfaac   --enable-libvpx   --enable-libx264  --enable-libmp3lame  --enable-libtheora   --enable-libvorbis   --enable-pic  --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree
make clean && make && make install
ldconfig -v

In theory, after all the steps, you should have the latest version of the working ffmpeg installed:

[root@ffmpeg ffmpeg]# ffmpeg

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

For conversion, we use the following flags:

OGV

ffmpeg -i test.avi -acodec libvorbis -ab 192k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -b 1500k -s 1280x720 test.cvt.ogv

Webm

ffmpeg -i test.avi  -acodec libvorbis -ab 192k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -b 1500k -s 1280x720 test.cvt.webm

Mp4

ffmpeg -i test.avi -ab 192k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -b 1500k -s 1280x720 -level 21 -refs 2 -bt 1500k test.cvt.mp4

I would be glad if someone prompts more optimal ones.
