Hello everybody I have a dependency problem which I have no idea how to fix. Here is the error:
Here is something interesting:
Version: ffmpeg2theora-0.29-i486-1sl
What would it be the solution? Try to upgrade ffmpeg to a higher version, hoping that nothing else will be affected? Any suggestion?

did you upgrade ffmpeg in the past? If you do so, then try recompile the ffmpeg2theora and it will link to the correct lib

My current version of ffmpeg is 1.1.2 I haven't found any newer precompiled version for slack at the moment. I'm trying to go through the tarball..

Mind you it is more than possible to use standard FFmpeg with syntax something like the following:

Perhaps fiddle a little with the -qscale and -aq settings to get the best result for your own files...

Actually AlienBOB already made package for ffmpeg 1.2
http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/pe...mpeg/pkg/14.0/

Those who follow the release versions might have a look at 2.0 'Nameless'...

use a prebuilt ffmpeg package downloaded from the same repository you have used to download a prebuilt one for ffmpeg2theora (judging from the tag, I would say slacky.eu).

what happened to you is very common when:
- mixing packages fom different repositories (that can use different versions or can be built differently);
- updating yourself a package and not updating/rebuild the ones depending on it.

You are right! it was Slacky.eu
Well the versions on the website are actually ffmpeg - 1.1.2 and ffmpeg2theora - 0.29, which have caused me the problem. Maybe its a slacky.eu problem then.. Anyway now I'm trying to install another version and we will see what happens.
Thank you all for the answers and help!

No luck at all..

report the problem to slacky.eu people: package probably must be rebuilt over the new ffmpeg

I would be interested in the output of this:

just to see if there were multiple ffmpeg packages loaded and hosing you.

I have been playing around with this for the last couple of days and will share what I can recall (though I don't have a ready solution). I am not an expert on this stuff so I will apologize in advance should I be wrong about any of this.

Firstly, I felt compelled to upgrade FFMPEG because the version called out by slackbuilds.org (0.11.1) contains a bug which results in improper timecodes being produced in the output file. I believe this bug was fixed in version 1.2 (released March 2013) but the fix may have already appeared in version 1.1 (released January 2013). Nonetheless, I chose to upgrade to FFMPEG version 2.0 after failing to build ffmpeg2theora against any of the newer versions of FFMPEG. There have been a couple of changes to the FFMPEG API and ffmpeg2theora has not yet been updated to address them.

I have tried to patch the ffmpeg2theora source to address this but while the changes are fairly trivial, I am not familiar enough with the code base to achieve success (I will try some more this weekend).

At this point, I think you basically have two options: either use ffmpeg2theora with version 0.11.1 of FFMPEG and suffer the timecode problems, or use a newer version of FFMPEG and forget about ffmpeg2theora for the present.

As others have stated, you can now use FFMPEG to produce valid OGV files with the following syntax:

You won't have access to some of the more advanced encoding options offered by ffmpeg2theora, but the resulting file will fully compliant and have no timecode anomalies.

bash-4.2# ls /var/log/packages | grep -i ffmpeg
ffmpeg-1.1.2-i686-1sl
ffmpeg2theora-0.29-i486-1sl

I tried the slackbuild options as well as the official tarball one... No luck...
Of course to this point, the conversion is not a problem anymore, nevertheless, I thank you for the option without ffmpeg2theora which I didn't know.
Of course it would be interesting to know the solution to solve the problem..
I tried to send a message to slacky.eu too, hoping in some good news.. Thanks to everyone
