I am sorry to ask this but I just don't understand the instructions on the Mplayer site for installing FFMpeg. I have a DVD rip with an AVI extension and when I try to play it I get:
Trying to force audio codec driver family libmad...
Opening audio decoder: [libdv] Raw DV Audio Decoder
Unknown/missing audio format -> no sound
ADecoder init failed
Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders
Cannot find codec 'dvaudio' in libavcodec...
ADecoder init failed
ADecoder init failed
Cannot find codec for audio format 0x56444152.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html!
So I used the direction on the Mplayer site to get FFmpeg through CVS but there are no instructions for installing it. There is no .config file. I don't know where to copy the files to.
It said to copy them to the main Mplayer CVS tree i.e. Mplayer cvs/main or something like that. I can't find a directory that resembles what they are talking about.
Anyway, I now have an ffmpeg directory in my /home/mooreted directory with a ton of files in it... What do I do now?
