ffmpeg compilation script for Ubuntu

Ubuntu doesn’t provide the latest ffmpeg or include the modules I use all the time, so I wrote a little script to automatically compile and install my own version:

#!/bin/sh

# https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu

# SERVER COMPILATION SKIPS ffplay AND A X11 DEPENDENCIES

echo 'THIS SCRIPT USES SUDO, SO IT MIGHT ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD'
sudo apt-get update -qq

sudo apt-get -y install \
	autoconf \
	automake \
	build-essential \
	cmake \
	git \

	libfreetype6-dev \
	libtheora-dev \
	libtool \
	libvorbis-dev \
