Check out http://moviconz.com (its slowly coming together). ffmpeg in the cloud rocks. :-) I thought you’d get a kick out of the hack I put together this week with ffmpeg on ec2.

I have a 64-bit AMD system running FC8 as well, and I had to take a few other minor steps to get this to work. I'm not even a Linux guy — just a very, very persistent Mac user. It took me a few hours to get the raw tutorial together, then a few more weeks of on-and-off tweaking and re-compiling from scratch to get this particular set of instructions.

After several hours, I finally got FFMPEG to build on a standard Fedora Core 4 instance from EC2 by starting with your directions. This instance was missing a few little things. First, you need the curses.* library for a number of the front-end debugging tools: yum install ncurses-devel When compiling the GSM package, I had to turn off the assembler optimizations as neither ASM nor YASM would allow access to the MMX instruction on this EC2 virtual CPU. Finally, I had to remove --libgsm and --libtheoraenc from the final ffmpeg config. I don't know if this had anything to do with the C code that replaces the assembly code optimizations, but I suspect it does. Thanks for the awesome post.
