Hey there,


I am using the following in my ffmpeg node(see image attached)

This worked on my windows at home but doesn't seem to work on my Linux centos 7

It gives me the following errors:

If I remove -apply_trc then it complains about -c:v libvpx-vp9. If I remove that it complains about it being an .webm

Is there something I need to install on my Linux to make this ffmpeg work?

How did you install ffmpeg? It looks like it was compiled with a few options disabled.

Is there somewhere in the documentation that states how I should be compiling it for pdg?

Not that I'm aware of. If you're not comfortable compiling your own copy, and you're not shy of utilizing 3rd party package repositories, you could install a pre-built version.

This is how I installed it on my machine:


Note: This uses a 3rd party repository, Nux Desktop. It is well known, but neither I or SideFX have looked into the safety of these packages.

Thanks so much for the help, that seems to have worked
