    I've got this applocation that is needing some extra files installed.
    OS is Debian Sarge with Apache2

    I'm stuck at 1.)
    All I can find is a svn file??
    What's a svn file, and how do I install it?

    apt-cache search ffmpeg, does show files, but installing the file ffmpeg (and files that are related to it) step 2 will complain about missing stuff in ffmpeg.
    I guess the apt-get install ffmpeg and related files are missing stuff

    step 3, 4, 5 and 6 I did not try.. (1st I want to get step 1 and 2 done)

    Anyone here who can take me by the hand and guide me how to get ffmpeg and ffmpeg-PHP installed/working?

    Thank you!

    svn is short for Subversion, it's a version control management system, similar to CVS. For example, we use svn for ISPConfig development. Have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svn

    Install svn like this:
    Code:
    apt-get install svn
    and then run
    Code:
    svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
    and it will get you the latest ffmpeg files to your hard disk, and you can go on installing ffmpeg.
