FFmpeg-0.7.6(stable libav version) and codecs compiled on Puppy 4.3.1(JP)
Hopefully works on Puppy/Pupplets 4.x.
DO NOT install on recent 5.x. They already have recent ffmpeg pre-installed.
But there is FFmpeg-0.8.12 for Wary/Racy-5.3

It works

! Including the WebM format. Which did not need loads of resources to play. I used this test WebM video: http://lachy.id.au/lib/media/elephantsdream/Elephants_Dream-360p-Stereo.webm from: Custom controls WebM video. Thanks muchly.

Awesome. Thanks for this.

Is there a matching Ffmpeg_DEV pet?

Now what I could do with now is a full featured new build of Mplayer, eg. with multi core support and maybe a full featured new build of Xine too. Please.

Got a very similar pack on my puplet. It's brilliant, I'd recommend this to any 4.x user. Plays FLV (x264), OGG, xVid ... it's awesome.

Arr

! This ffmpeg does not know what vorbis is!

Update: Vorbis works if you use "libvorbis".

@ Shinobar
There is a lot of good work you have done to compile this and the other work you contribute to puppy.
I'd love to download this ffmpeg pet but I the link times out on me and I cannot download it. :/

Could you check to see if it is okay?
Perhaps someone else could offer to mirror this package?

Some how the contents of this post did not get posted a few days after you posted the dev PET Confused

.

Dad helped me at looking at the source code from dev PET and he (Maybe we?) could not find any thing that stood out as being a problem, The problem being of needing to use "libvorbis" instead of "vorbis" for the audio codec parameter (Don't know if any other parameters that are affected by the same problem.). So when I have the time I intent lean some/more bash to write a simple wrapper script for FFmpeg which changes the audio codec parameter "vorbis" to "libvorbis".

Here is the FFmpeg Wrapper script. It corrects the acodec "vorbis" parameter to "libvorbis". This is because older versions of FFmpeg used "vorbis" as the acodec parameter and in new version it was changed to "libvorbis". This way old pre-sets/scripts are still compatible with this version of FFmpeg.

To use, rename the "ffmpeg" binary to "fmpeg.bin" and save this script in "/usr/bin/" using the name "ffmpeg".
[EDIT: CODE DOES NOT WORK! SEE UPDATE.]

The new FFmpeg Wrapper that works!
[EDIT]The ffmpeg command now has the ".bin" bit added.
[Update]Now corrects "-vcodec xvid" to "-vcodec libxvid".

the bitrate parameter has changed too - this causes some scripts to make really large or very poor quality output depending on the direction of the mismatch ... this should be somewhat stabilized since the 0.5.1 release ... anyone ever heard of a stable api?
