Getting latest ffmpeg CVS

[Kayaker]

Hi there.

I don't know if this question is right here, I'm sorry if it's not.

Does anyone know where can I get the latest or at least some recent snapshot of ffmpeg CVS ?

I'm having hard time using cvsnt behing a firewall (I've tried tunneling, putty , etc, with no avail.) I'm behind a HTTP only proxy.
I suppose that I can get putty working with rsh, but my head is aching already...

So I can't seem to get the latest from mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/ffmpeg

there is suposedly a web interfage to the CVS, but it doesn't work.

Can anyone help ?

As you might guess, the goal here is compiling latest ffmpeg with MinGW.

(I prefer ffmpeg over mencoder, I find it's command line more user friendly )

Thanx.

Thanx a lot dragongodz !!!

Now I gotta compile it under MinGW, but that's my own fight hehe :)

I wonder why these guys don't do more often "formal releases" on sourceforge.
It seems that they are more used to work with the latest CVS...

Quick question along the same lines...
Is there any direct set of instructions for compiling ffmpeg with static builds of, say, xvid, x264 and faac for one-binary distribution?

TylerL, below there is a good tutorial.

It's actually about mencoder, but they share a lot in common with ffmpeg.
You'll surely find it very useful.

Hope that helps.

Figured out my problem...
I ran the default "make install" for each library, and they placed both the *.a and the *.dylib (Mac OS X) libs in /usr/local/lib.

ffmpeg was picking up the .dylibs instead of the .a files.

I deleted the .dylibs, and all is well. Weird.

They advice to use --disable-shared.

So I suppose is better to have all statically linked (at least in MinGW and/or MacOS )
