[FFmpeg-user] Building ffmpeg and libx264 on ubuntu

[Alastair Mason]

> You can also try: find / -name '*x264*'

after rerunning
sudo apt-get remove ffmpeg x264 libx264-dev
(just to be safe) i ran running
sudo find / -name '*x264*'
i found the following:

/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-max.ffpreset
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-lossless_slow.ffpreset
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-lossless_ultrafast.ffpreset
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-lossless_slower.ffpreset
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-lossless_max.ffpreset
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-lossless_medium.ffpreset

/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-hq.ffpreset
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-baseline.ffpreset
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-main.ffpreset
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-fastfirstpass.ffpreset
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-lossless_fast.ffpreset
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-ipod320.ffpreset

/var/lib/dpkg/info/libx264-85.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libx264-85.postrm

I found the following files that i can't account for. Would it be safe
to delete all of them, except:

/usr/lib/vlc/codec/libx264_plugin.so
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstx264.so

or is there a better way way to deal with them?
thanks again for the help
