VLC on Ubuntu Linux

[HazeA.I.]

Ok, I'm pretty new to linux, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. I'm running Ubuntu Linux, which I know is based off of Debian, can I run the version of VLC for Debian, and if so, which version of VLC for Debian, because there are two. Thanks a bunch.

anonymous32: configure your ffmpeg with --enable-pp

configure your ffmpeg with --enable-pp

I still have the same problem

[Sigmund]

make sure you don't have any old remains of ffmpeg hanging around(like if you have run make install previously). then run make clean or make distclean in the ffmpeg sources before running configure --enable-pp and building ffmpeg. This should work

how do you completely remove ffmpeg if you've installed it before?

ok, I have it worked out. I just installed rpms from here via alien. For the life of me, I couldn't get ffmpeg working with --enable-pp myself. But these rpms seem to have it covered.

You need those two RPMs. You will no doubt run into more problems, but they can be solved with synaptic. It's compiling on my system now anyways... I guess it remains to be seen whether it will work or not. (If not, I guess I am going to be out looking for an rpm or something of vlc 0.8.1)
