# Tested on a vanilla x86-64 AWS t1.micro instance running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
# Took 1 hour to completely build and install.
# 
# Before running this make sure you have repo ffmpeg uninstalled, and do:
# $ sudo apt-get -y update
# $ sudo apt-get -y upgrade
# $ sudo apt-get -y remove ffmpeg
# $ sudo apt-get -y install unzip autoconf automake build-essential libass-dev \
# libgpac-dev libsdl1.2-dev libtheora-dev libtool libva-dev libvdpau-dev \
# libvorbis-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev pkg-config texi2html \
# zlib1g-dev libmp3lame-dev
# $ sudo chmod 755 ffmpeg-ext.sh

# After running this, log out and in to apply changes in your ./profile
# (ffmpeg to PATH).

# Notice that we will make and install everything locally in $HOME.
