To whom it may concern,

I have recently update my ffmpeg program for fedora core 4 and I am trying to title my mp4 files for the psp using the -title command. I am encoding my avi files to mp4 and am using the -title command to name the mp4 file when I put it on the psp. When I use this command this is what comes up: ffmpeg -i c1.avi -title constantine -f psp -r 29.970 -b 450 -ar 2400 -ab 64 -s 320x240 M4V00002.MP4

Can someone give me a step by step command on how to fix this problem and be able to title my mp4 files for the psp?

Excerpt from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_PSP

What does number 1 mean? Does it mean that the ffmpeg version with the aac flag will work? Do I have to update it again or is that the command under number 1?

Yes, It's just saying you need to have aac configured with ffmpeg. Sorry, that command is specific to gentoo. I don't think FedoraCore uses emerge so you will need to get the aac libraries separately (they are not part of ffmpeg). I belive they are called libfaac & libfaad. You can find them on http://www.rpmfind.net

It is still not working and I have all the updates for faac and faad. Is there an update for aac for Fedora Core 4? Any answer will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.After I do the same command the samething comes up:ffmpeg -i b1.avi -title batman1 -f psp -r 29.970030 -b 768 -ar 24000 -ab 64 -s 320x240 M4V00001.MP4

When you built ffmpeg from the source, what did you specify for your configuration? I belive it needs to be configured something like this:
I noticed that the line in bold wasn't listed in your
'Configuration:' section. I'm not sure if it's what's causing the problem or not but you might want to give it a try.

When I do the configure command this is what comes up: enable -f -memalign-hack -f -enable-gpl -f --enable-xvid -f --enable-faac
enable .

enable [
enable alias
enable bg
enable bind

enable shopt
enable source
enable suspend
enable test
enable times
enable trap
enable true
enable type
enable typeset
enable ulimit
enable umask
enable unalias
enable unset

What does this mean? I see that none of what I want enabled is on that list? All of this help is greatly appreciated thank you so much for your patience.

'enable' has to due with printers and is not the command you are looking for. The command you need is:
which must be done in the main directory of the ffmpeg source code. Please note I added in --prefix=/usr to the configure options. I'm pretty sure it does this by default but you should add it in there just to be sure. You will then compile with 'make', and install with 'make install'. Before you compile and install ffmpeg from the source, I would make sure you remove any previous ffmpeg packages you might have installed. Also, make sure libfaac & libfaad are installed in /usr and not in /usr/local. If they are, create simlinks in /usr pointing to the correct directory.

I have updated everything and this is what comes up when I try ffmpeg again: ffmpeg -i henderson.avi -title henderson -f psp -r 29.970 -b 450 -ar 2400 -ab 64 -s 320x240 M4V00002.MP4

What should I change? Thank you for your patience and time.

When you say you updated everything, do you mean you ran the ./configure with the correct options then recompiled/installed? Did you make sure the new ffmpeg you are running is the new one you just compiled? I still do not see --enable-memalign-hack in the configure options you posted. To be honest, I am not sure what this is but I have seen it on any howto referring to this topic; I'm pretty sure it's necessary but I could be wrong.

If you are sure you installed correctly, I would try running the command exactly as it is in the howto before adding in your own options. If this works, add your changes one by one to figure out where it craps out on you. You will then be able to determine the fix more easily.
