FFMPEG Boost on Ubuntu Linux (from the supplied exe file with Dolphin)

Simple install ffmpeg from medibuntu and install libavcodec-extra-52.

Save your original file and link to the system ffmpeg binary with ln -s so you don't have to update any code within dolphin.
(cd flash/modules/global/app ; mv ffmpeg.exe ffmpeg.exe.orig ; ln -s /usr/bin/ffmpeg ffmpeg.exe )

You can also add '-threads 2' argument to it's command line, and boost even more.
(flash/modules/video/inc/header.inc.php + flash/modules/video_comments/inc/header.inc.php)

If you can't do above you need to change $GLOBALS['sFfmpegPath'] in the above files.

From 8 frames/s on a Phenom II X6 processor to 51 frames/s with -threads 3 ;)

Now I need to figure out if vaapi is possible on newer onboard graphics card (HD4xxx) to
improve video encoding, who don't want their own video hardware accelerator in their server ;)

Ok, so say this in English.... What?

As Magnussoft say, it should work for other Linux Distributions aswell, problem you need to be aware of is that with an standard ffmpeg dont include libfaad and other things that dolphin need. Therefor you need an ffmpeg version that is not compiled as gpl and with the 'extra' libraries to fully support encoding movies.

Write me a privat message what system you have and i'll try my best to help you out. Been using Linux since 1996 (Debian "Bo"), do have experiance with Redhat/CentOS/Slackware etc, but the power of apt-get is / was the reason i went with Debian and latly Ubuntu.

Works perfectly on 11.04, uploading and encoding videos is a breeze.  Just had to add multiverse to get the libavcodec-extra-52 - on 11.04 medibuntu isn't needed for ffmpeg. . 

BUT NOW - has anyone EVER managed to get RECORDING to work (7.0.9)?   I've tried for days to get any recording to process but never finishes processing.  If this worked I might be able to get my Dolphin site off the ground finally.
