Usually I would write this script with Python but I am trying to learn a bit more bash lately, so I made an effort (and several searches) and wrote it in bash -and a couple of other utilities such as sed which were already installed on Mac. In any case, ffmpeg compiled fine without having SDL, so I'm assuming it just didn't compile ffplay which frankly I don't use.Īfter I checked that Martin's method worked, I decided to convert his instructions into an script. I also didn't install SDL as from what I remember it was only used for showing ffplay's output (mostly for opening a window, showing the decoded video, etc). I just changed a few things for example you don't need to -enable-libfaad anymore with recent versions of ffmpeg as I think they have their own (experimental?) faad encoder, and don't rely on an external library. I found a post by Martin Los, which was pretty much all I needed to get started. So given that I have XCode installed anyway, I decided to build ffmpeg myself, just as I had done back in 2007. Two thousand and six! Which in ffmpeg terms is like the Pleistocene. The only binary build I could find (without having to download fink and a ton more packages that I don't really need) was a build from 2006. Now that I'm using a Mac (with Mac OS) at work I'm sorely missing truly essential tools such as ffmpeg. Ffmpeg on Mac Os X Lion Wed 22:28:03 GMT+0000 (Greenwich Mean Time)
