I'm looking for a simple install guide for mencoder on a linux server via SSH.

Every guide I've come to so far links me to out of date versions.

If your distribution has a package manager (most do nowadays), simply use that. It can be part of the 'mplayer' package, or it has its own package

On Debian this would be (see comments):

sudo apt-get install mencoder

If you are not root or don't have a package manager, download the source from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html and install it like a regular program, probably something like:

./configure
make

mencoder is not included with mplayer on debian due to licensing issues. so you'd have to build from source. – Dan D. Jul 26 '11 at 12:34

On Debian, use the Debian Multimedia repository. On Ubuntu, use the Medibuntu repository. – Gilles Jul 26 '11 at 20:32
sorry, you're right. I update the post. – Tim Jul 28 '11 at 8:55
