Re: New to Io - AVCodec

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the response.  And I can see this might be outside your ken, and it's purely an install problem, which is a bit murky in Linux. 

I took down two downloadables from the website.  I actually have two machines - an ubuntu and a Pardus.  Anyway, ubuntu 10.04.04  will take a debian build via its package manager, and I installed the x86deb from the front page.  Strangely, it doesn't have the AVCodec addon.  There are a lot of others though.  

I also took down the linux x86rpm and that does have the AVCodec addon, but it doesn't install via the ubuntu package manager, and when I installed via the shell, it seemed to install ok in situ. But it didn't put the addons in the right place.

What I'd like to do is either build my own addon for ubuntu to do ffmpeg control, or maybe take the addon from the x86rpm and put that into my deb install. My preference would be the second, because I want to get on and use some video manipulation, but I'm happy to go the first route too.  Could you give some advice?  

All Best,
Tom
