ffmpeg and netpbm

I need to know the paths to ffmpeg and netpbm. How do I activate these? Can it be done with a php.ini in the directory? If so what codes are needed? Also, the ImageMagick module seems to be outdated and there are some issues with that. Thanks

ffmpeg and netpbm are not installed. They are normally used with Gallery and Gallery includes them. I am checking on the ImageMagick library versions and will get back to you.

OK. They do not seem to be included in Gallery, however.

Misassumption on my part. You will need to download and install the linux libraries for your own use.

That is easier said than done. I've d/led a few and none work. Laughing

ImageMagick has been updated on all servers:

That's great. The install/configuration of ImageMagick said there were security issues with the older version, DOS for one. As for ffmpeg I gather that the best way to obtain it is by subversion which of course Windows doesn't have.

Windows has subversion. We use it all the time. http://subversion.tigris.org/
