Arch Linux uses the latest branch of FFmpeg, but on Raspbian, we have to compile FFmpeg manually. This can take up to 6 hours, but it has the best compatibility for streaming directly from the camera module.

When you type in the last line, it will configure, compile, and install FFmpeg in one go. Let it run and do not close the terminal window; however, just come back from time to time to make sure there were no errors. If something goes wrong, you can rerun the command, and it will go much faster as it tries to pick up from where it stopped.

# cd /usr/src
# git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
# cd ffmpeg
# ./configure && make && make install
