Step 1) Open Synaptic Package Manager
Step 2) Search on "libavformat"
Step 3) We need to install the alternate version of libavformat... the one with h.264 and mp3 codecs. These package names vary from distribution to distribution, but it should be something similar to:
a) libavformat-extra
b) libavformat-unstripped
Step 4) Close and re-launch OpenShot. You should now be able to use libmp3lame, h.264, and many other restricted formats.
here are the same.
Basically, you can compile them of the same way i.e :
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
sudo make install
