I installed ffmpeg-devel and all its dependencies from RPM packages. It was a bit of a pain, but most of them were available from http://dag.wieers.com/packages/. libtheora-devel came from CentOS itself.
After rerunning ./configure I reran zmconfig.pl. I got a bit stuck where it was asking for additional input options - it wouldn't let me leave this blank. So I gave an arbitary one:
Code: Select all
Additional input options to ffmpeg (string) [] :
Invalid input, please re-enter or type '?' for help.
Additional input options to ffmpeg (string) [] : -author brian
Now the 'export' link is unchanged but I have a new 'video' link. Unfortunately it fails:
Code: Select all
Video Generation Parameters Close

Frame Rate [ real ]
Video Size [ actual ]

Is there anything else I should be checking to try to find out why it's not working? Clearly I'd like to see the command line passed to ffmpeg, and its error output.
Also, it's not clear to me that the ffmpeg package I've installed was compiled with sufficient features, although it seems to be pretty comprehensive. Does it need to be compiled with plain jpeg image support? Here's the output of ffmpeg -formats.

Note, the names of encoders and decoders dont always match, so there are
several cases where the above table shows encoder only or decoder only entries
even though both encoding and decoding are supported for example, the h263
decoder corresponds to the h263 and h263p encoders, for file formats its even
worse
