What version of FFMPEG should I use on DEBIAN to transcode RTSP to RTMP?

Question

I was using that command:

   ffmpeg -i rtsp://login:password@90.70.42.54:554/axis-media/media.amp -f flv  rtmp://localhost:1935/live/yarek

WHich worked fine on 1 windows,

This command gives errors on linux1 (ffmpeg version 0.8.6-4:0.8.6

WriteN, RTMP send error 10053 (129 bytes)
WriteN, RTMP send error 10053 (45 bytes)
WriteN, RTMP send error 10038 (42 bytes)
av_interleaved_write_frame(): Operation not permitted

and gives errors on Linux2: (ffmpeg version 0.7.15)

[h264 @ 0x98e2f80] RTP: PT=60: bad cseq c54f expected=b90c
[h264 @ 0x98e2f80] RTP: PT=60: bad cseq b90c expected=c551
[h264 @ 0x98e2f80] RTP: PT=60: bad cseq c552 expected=b90f
[rtsp @ 0x98de5e0] Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate

Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 180000.00 (180000/1) -> 90000.00 (180000/2)
Input #0, rtsp, from 'rtsp://login:password@90.70.42.54:554/axis-media/media.amp':
  Metadata:
    title           : Media Presentation
  Duration: N/A, start: -4756.582667, bitrate: N/A
    Stream #0.0: Video: h264 (Main), yuvj420p, 1024x768 [PAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], 90k tbr, 90k tbn, 180k tbc

So I am 100% sure that the command line is GOOD, but FFMPEG is bad.

My question is: What version of FFMPEG should I use on DEBIAN to transcode RTSP to RTMP ?

Can someone recommend me a CORRECT version of FFMPEG that works ?

Regards

Consider adding `-codec copy` as an output option if you want to [stream copy](https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Stream-copy) instead of re-encoding. — llogan, Aug 20 '13 at 02:14

The ffmpeg you are using in Windows is probably from the FFmpeg project via Zeranoe's FFmpeg Windows builds, and the so-called ffmpeg you are using in Debian is probably from a fork of FFmpeg called libav. I could confirm this if you included the console outputs for each command. See:

I recommend using real ffmpeg since the version from the fork is obviously buggy. You have two main choices:

Follow a step-by-step guide to compile ffmpeg on Debian, or
Simply download and use an already compiled recent Linux build of ffmpeg

Compiling will embiggen your nerd cred, but using the build is lazier.
