TubeX Third Party Tools

Video Conversion Programs

To support video conversion and grabbing frames from videos, TubeX uses several third-party open source programs. These programs will need to already be installed on your server, and are not included as part of the TubeX distribution.

I have, however, created a package that includes the source for all of these programs so they can be compiled and installed on your server. This package includes the same versions that I use for testing, which should give you the best compatibility with TubeX.

The package includes the following items:

FAAC 1.28 - Audio encoder library
FAAD 2.7 - Audio decoder library
ffmpeg SVN-r18705 - Video information and conversion program
GPAC 0.4.5 - MP4Box program for generating mp4 videos
ImageMagick 6.2.9-8 - Image manipulation program
libjpeg 6b - JPEG image library
lame 3.98-2 - Audio encoder library
libpng 1.2.35 - PNG image library
mplayer SVN-r29238-4.1.2 - Video player for frame extraction
mencoder SVN-r29238-4.1.2 - Video conversion program
nasm 2.05.01 - Assembler (prereq for building other items)
speex 1.2rc1 - Audio encoder library
libx264 67 r1145 d2e1e1c - Video encoder library
xvidcore-1.2.1 - Video encoder library
yamdi 1.4 - Metadata injector for FLV videos
yasm 0.8.0 - Assembler (prereq for building other items)
codec pack - Support for VFW video encoders

Each item is packaged individually in a tar.gz archive so they can be compiled and built separately if needed. There is also a shell script included that can compiled and install all of the items automatically (tested on CentOS Linux).
