## once done, you'll see something along the lines of:
# >> Downloading build artifacts to: /tmp/ffmpeg.tgz
#   (available at http://foo.herokuapp.com/output/d21f6bb8-6db6-4397-b02e-347806945881)
#
# Download the .tgz via the link or cd to /tmp then:

tar xvf ffmpeg.tgz

mkdir /path/to/app/vendor/ffmpeg
mv ffmpeg/* /path/to/app/vendor/ffmpeg/

# cd to your app then:

heroku config:set PATH=bin:vendor/ffmpeg/bin:vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin -a yourapp

#in the above, make sure you are simply appending 'vendor/ffmpeg/bin' to whatever is already set when you run 'heroku config' and look at the currently set value for PATH. overwriting it will break your app.

heroku config:set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=vendor/ffmpeg/lib:/usr/local/lib -a yourapp

git add .

git commit -m "vendor ffmpeg"

git push heroku master

# enjoy!

thanks a lot for your gist; it's helping me a lot. I was able to get through all the steps, but when I actually try to convert a video through my heroku app, I get the error "ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.140: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I made sure to specify by the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and when I run "heroku run which ffmpeg", I get "vendor/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg"

Do you know how I might fix this?

@ttseng did you ever solve? I'm getting the same error (though line 142 instead of 140)
