What exactly are the dependencies for the Video library on Ubuntu
Hello!
I have been using Processing for around six months now, and I am really loving it. I have learned a lot about coding through Processing and have really entered a new phase of my learning path.
Anyways, every time I try to run the camera or movie examples from the Video library after a fresh installation of Ubuntu I can't because I am missing some dependencies. Then I end up installing a bunch of packages relating to the gstreamer library until things magically start working.
So: does anyone know exactly which packages need to be installed to meet the dependencies of the Video library on Ubuntu? I am trying to avoid installing any packages in excess. I would like to install just what I need and nothing more, hence my question.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.
~Andrew

Yes, I did see that the ffmpeg from the ppa seemed to be the key for some people. Only installing that is was not enough for me though, so I tried installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-base and gstreamer0.10-plugins-good. It only started working after I installed plugins-good. I'm not positive if the plugins-good alone would have done it or not...but getting the right combination in only three attempts was not too bad.
