FFMPEG strips audio while converting video

Question

I have Ubuntu server 8.04 installed with the Multiverse repos enabled.

I have installed FFMPEG, with its PHP extension also.

When I try to convert videos into the flv format, I find that the audio is stripped out.

Also, audio cannot be converted to mp3, only mp2.

How do I install the codecs required ?

Please help.

have you installed the codecs and compiled ffmpeg with the options to use them ? — Prix, Oct 07 '10 at 05:55
Not sure this is really a SF question, more suitable for SU, what do others think? — Chopper3, Oct 07 '10 at 06:24
I think it is, because I am using ffMpeg on my production server with its PHP extension. — Hrishikesh Choudhari, Oct 07 '10 at 06:50

You need build ffmpeg from source. Read this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ffmpeg
