We convert video for iPod from under Linux

Many users of an iPod for Linux sooner or later face the problem of converting video for this wonderful device. There are no standard tools for this.

For the conversion we will use the mp4ize script.

sudo apt-get install ruby ​​ffmpeg liblame-dev libxvidcore4-dev

sudo apt-get install liba52-dev libdts-dev libgsm1-dev libvorbis-dev

sudo apt-get install libxvidcore4 libxvidcore-dev libdc1394-dev libfaac-dev

sudo apt-get install libx264-dev libfaac-dev libfaad2-dev build-essentials

sudo apt-get build-dep ffmpeg

We download the script from here . We save. Copy to / bin. Making it executable.

')

sudo cp mp4ize / bin / mp4ize

sudo chmod + x / bin / mp4ize

After that, in theory, everything should earn a team

mp4ize file.avi

However, my script started to swear on the xvid codec. I had to recompile ffmpeg.

sudo apt-get build-dep ffmpeg

sudo env DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS = risky sudo apt-get -b source ffmpeg

cd 'ffmpeg-0.cvs20070307'

sudo ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-pthreads \

--enable-libvorbis --enable-libogg --enable-liba52 \

--enable-libdts --enable-libgsm --enable-dc1394 \

--disable-debug --enable-shared --enable-xvid \

--enable-libfaac --prefix = / usr / local

sudo make

sudo make install

After the above manipulations and dances everything worked for me.

Spoiled from here and from here .
