First of all i am a newbie to Ubuntu Linux and have been trying to install and compile FFMPEG on an Ubuntu machine... I am trying to compile FFMPEG on an Ubuntu machine, using the following link reference: https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/UbuntuCompilationGuide

I have already install git packages from resource centre whatever it results in search... Whatever i am trying to clone to is showing the below error... and please note that the network is wireless and connected with full bandwidth and i am able to browse through website and not sure why its showing an error as unable to connect and connection timed out....

root@ubuntu:~# cd
root@ubuntu:~# git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac.git
Cloning into 'fdk-aac'...
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 207.97.227.239]: errno=Connection timed out

Tried these commands as well to install x264 lib:

cd
git clone --depth 1 git://git.videolan.org/x264
cd x264

I am doing all this as a root user.

Any help and comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
Nitin
