FFMPEG strips audio while converting video

Hi,

I have Ubuntu server 8.04 installed with the Multiverse repos enabled.

I have installed FFMPEG, with its PHP extension also.

When I try to convert videos into the flv format, I find that the audio is stripped out.

Also, audio cannot be converted to mp3, only mp2.

How do I install the codecs required ?

Please help.

• You need build ffmpeg from source. Read this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ffmpeg
