As I understand (and remember) debian does not package x264 with its ffmpeg. [I say remember because I have a debian-multimedia line in my sources.list that I believe I added when I wanted a x264 enabled ffmpeg]
Is this status still the same? Do we still need to compile ffmpeg by hand if we want x264?
I am trying to compile OpenCV 2.0 with ffmpeg (with x264) support on my Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit machine. (Since I want to use the binaries provided by other developers, I have to use opencv 2.0 version)
I followed the guide from: [URL] to compile x264 and ffmpeg manually, and succeeded.
Then I followed the guide in the INSTALL file provided by the OpenCV 2.0 package. I use CMake to configure and generate them, and use "make" command to try compiling. However, I got the following error report, which haunted me for almost half a week.
Code:
Linking CXX static library ../../lib/libhighgui_pch_dephelp.a

I use ffmpeg to covert video files for the net.
Code: Select allffmpeg -i infile -vcodec libx264 -vpre ipod640 -b 250k -bt 50k -acodec libfaac -ab 56k -ac 2 -s res.mp4
which works good. I was wondering if I could use larger resolution presets, but
find /usr -iname '*.ffpreset' only gives
#/usr/share/ffmpeg/libvpx-360p.ffpreset
#/usr/share/ffmpeg/libvpx-1080p.ffpreset
#/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-ipod320.ffpreset
#/usr/share/ffmpeg/libvpx-1080p50_60.ffpreset
#/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-ipod640.ffpreset
#/usr/share/ffmpeg/libvpx-720p50_60.ffpreset
#/usr/share/ffmpeg/libvpx-720p.ffpreset
with only 2 presets for libx264.
I installed ffmpeg from deb-multimedia. Is there a package which provides further preset files? There should be e.g. hq, max etc..
I have been working on vlc (windows) and now i want to use the same in linux...so ma trying to compile it in linux..... i need ffmpeg functionality and others as such...so please provide me with the complete link and order so as where to fetch the source code and to compile....i have done googling and found lots of tutorials and most of the are confusing and not clear......and i tried doing them and am now confused(whether they are compiled or not) cos when i try to instll them it says already exists and when i try to use the functionality it says canot transcode ffmpeg doesnt exitst.....I am badly need of vlc transcoding options. Am using ubuntu 10.

How do I perform the same tasks using sbopkg? I believe some compilation options must be changed to reflect the svn changes.
Has anyone done this before? Are the steps important when using slackware 13 x86_64?
I've probably exhausted all possible ffmpeg argument combinations for encoding with a libx264 codec - none worked, the codec always either segfaults or tells me incorrect parameters. I've installed, uninstalled and re-installed all available versions of the codec - no difference. Did anyone have any luck with it? Are there any tricks or conflicts in different arguments? Does the input file have to be in any particular container/format/codec for the x264 to work on?
My examples: >ffmpeg -i video.mpg -vcodec libx264 video.mkv >... Error while opening encoder for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height >ffmpeg -i video.mpg -vcodec libx264 -b 4000 -s hd1080 -f h264 video.mkv Same error If I use any other codec, they all work fine. give a working ffmpeg arguments example,

How do I convert an ovg to avi file?
Why was ffmpeg removed in Jessie?
I read through more of this thread than I wanted to. [URL] ....
Does libav provide command line utilities to do something like converting ovg to avi, or determining the length of an mp3 file? Why is there absolutely no explanation as to why libav was preferred over ffmeg?

I use Kino to transfer dv from my camera and also use it for video editing, but there are very few GUI options when it comes to transcoding the edited files into, say, h264.

Now our server guy ran a update inside webmin for debian and now our videos still convert but wont make thumbs. Here is what he did.
Now updating libsmbclient ..
Now the AVS script wont make thumbs and webmin still wants to do 3 more updates that get unmet dependencies errors. Here they are when we try to run another update.

Now what we need to do is either undo the update he already did or maybe get the one its asking for now to work but not sure which one will fix our thumb generating problem? Here is the error in the log file of the AVS script.

I'm wondering if anyone distributes mplayer, mencoder, and ffmpeg, up-to-date builds of each and their associated dependencies (x264, faac, xvid, etc).I had to compile all that stuff myself and fought with it, and finally got it working.
If no one distributes latest builds, then I was thinking of going further with what I've done to help others: virtualbox lenny and automated compiles of all packages and putting up the builds, with latest revisions of mplayer and ffmpeg from their source code repos. Using LD_LIBRARY_PATH to isolate the build so any modern linux can run the produced binaries, with only glibc as a dependency.
I received a few updates today, one of which is mplayer. Now mplayer is broken and from what I can gather it's because it's incompatible with the version of ffmpeg I have installed. But the real problem is that mplayer and ffmpeg were originally installed from the debian-multimedia repo but the update for mplayer is from the debian repo. I can't go back because this new mplayer is dependent on libdirectfb-1.2-9 whereas mplayer from debian-multimedia is dependent on libdirectfb-1,2-0.
In case you want the error from mplayer:
mplayer: relocation error: mplayer: symbol codec_wav_tags, version LIBAVFORMAT_52 not defined in file libavformat.so.52 with link time reference

Unfortunately things like h264enc and I'm sure others have moved on ahead and the dependencies on the x264 libraries means things like ffmpeg, mencoder, gstreamer, vlc, avidemux are having issues. With major dependencies it's difficult to upgrade the individiual components. A couple of examples, ffmpeg requires a newer build as it has some issues with MS's dvr-ms format. Apparently it was fixed in a newer release of the code. Another is some of the encode parameters in x264 being used in h264enc such as "weightp", "mbtree" which appear to be only supported in newer versions of the x264 libraries. Any chance that this is being looked at and newer and more recent builds of x264, and then I suspect with mencoder, ffmpeg etc...?

I have a load of XViD videos and I want to re-encode them into x264 - when I say a load, I mean over 300, anyone have any programs they reccomend to do it?I want to make them into those "future-sized movies" (700mb --> 300mb, 170mb --> 95mb, 350mb --> 150mb), what settings should I use? I want to keep the quality of the originals intact, along with the video sizes if possible, but if not, I don't really mind, just make them smaller. Here are the settings some people use in windows:oh yeah, one last thing - fast encoders please, I know it'll take a good while, but I want it to take as little time as possible please
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using openSUSE 11.2 64bit in Dell E6400 with Intel video chipset. I can play x264 720p files without any problems in Windows 7, but in openSUSE, I could play it in Totem, but it is very slow (lots of stopping).
In addition, in songbird, if I use the mediaflow add-on,the scroll becomes really sluggish.
In general, I feel like openSUSE is showing less ram usage but higher CPU usage than Windows 7. Is my video card driver is messed up? I really like openSUSE a lot but so it is disappointing....
I have been using Avidemux to encode edited video using x264 and the mp4 container for most of my videos. My PCs are not new, using single-core AMD Athlon processors.
In 9.04 and 9.10 (Linux Mint), encoding speeds ranged from 7 to 10 frames per second. In 10.04 these dropped down to less than 2 frames per second.
I booted back into Linux Mint 8 (9.10) and the same video encoded at the previous 7 to 10 fps.
I tried with other videos in different formats (mpeg2 and VOB). The results were the same - 10.04 was extremely slow encoding x264 but Mint 8 was "normal" at 7 to 10 fps.
With a dual-core notebook, however, the encoding speeds ran at 8 to 14 fps in 10.04.
Was 10.04 optimized for dual and multi-core at the expense of single-core? If so, is there a way to restore "single-core optimization"?
The version of mencoder I currently have installed segfaults (immediately) when you ask it to convert x264-encoded MKVs to another format. One sample command-line would be:
Code:

This produces the following output:

Incidentally, I'm wondering if the version of FFMpeg that the MPlayer configure script downloads might be at fault. The slightly outdated FFMpeg I installed from SBo (6.1) does not crash when converting the same file. And no, I can't use either Alien Bob's Mplayer build or the MPlayer binaries included with Slackware. Neither is built against either libdv or x264. I need libdv as an output codec.
I'm trying the DVD authoring stuff on Slackware, so okay I have downloaded Tovid along with its dozens of dependencies that has their own dependencies and so on...Now, one of the dependency is x264 (for encoding H264/AVC video streams). I already have alien bob's VLC from the uk site (restricted packages) and I've read on his blog (if I'm not mistaken) that it has the H264 capability (don't know how to describe it ).Is there any chance that it will conflict with this x264 library?
