If you are compiling the source code yourself, what you need for a bare-bones installation is not much: • libz & libm (which come with most operating systems) • FFmpeg >= 0.4.9-pre1, though you should really just check out the latest FFmpeg library from [FFmpeg CVS]. FFmpeg tends to put out releases very infrequently and so a current development snapshot is likely to be more stable and mature than the last release. (at least the shared libraries are absolutely needed, not the programs themselves) If you install a pre-built package like a Redhat or Debian package, it may or may not work depending on what the package builder wrote in as the dependencies! See Building Transcode for more details on compiling the source, like what all the optional packages are.
