My system had a child related crash(apparently glowing switches are fun to play with) while mplayer was running and now libx264.so.59 is missing. I've tried searching for it and can only seem to come up with RPMs
View 6 RepliesIt's been days and I still haven't found out how to install VLC. It says it requires libx264.so.83. I have libx264, and some other package listed as what's available in the following output when I issue "yum install vlc"
Code: [root@yoshii <myusername>]# yum install vlc-core
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit

You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest can anyone shed some light on this? I need/want VLC for some videos I have that wont play with MPlayer.
I was trying to run record it now, and switched from recordmydesktop to ffmpeg and it kept crashing. I tried it with the command line
Code:
ffmpeg -r 30 -s 1680x1050 -f x11grab -i :0.0 -vcodec msmpg2v2 -qscale 2 filename.avi
I have the following installed, but it's wanting libx264 which I don't see at slackbuilds.org:

Where should I start looking for missing things or...?
I also looked for xvidcap and kazam at slackbuilds.org but didn't see them there. Are those available?
were do i get the .dev files for libx264 0.98 i think is the version it is asking for.I install the latest libx264 from git or does that install the .dev file also.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using mencoder to encode a DVD on my computer (reading it is not an issue), and I'm having trouble getting the codec to read a certain library.My command includes these options:
Code:
-ovc lavc
-lavcopts vcodec=libx264 (I also tried with libxvid)
It spat out this error at the end:
Code:
Cannot find codec 'libxvid' in libavcodec...
Couldn't open video filter 'lavc'.
Failed to open the encoder.

Unless I can get this working I'll fall back on mpeg4 but I would like these codecs. I've had good experiences with them. I've checked and the libx264-98 package is installed, along with libxvidcore4 and avifile-xvid-plugin Is this a permission problem? Or do I have to set a conf file? DO NOT suggest using a different -ovc or vcodec. If you have one that works for you, keep that for yourself. I am going to use lavc.
I like to install kazam a screencaster, so added the ppa. But during installation I get following dependency issue

Obviously I like to ask the repo from where I can get those, but before that ; why debian missing those in its repo ( I am using testing ) and how ubuntu manage those to include in their repo ? May be a topic for debian decision maker, though interested to know.

I have installed the latest ffmpeg using this tutorial : HOWTO: Install and use the latest FFmpeg and x264.
What ever I do I always get the same error when trying to use ffmpeg with the new presets setting. I've searched forums and google the whole last day and now I'm pretty lost.
Here is the command I use (I've stripped it down to it's simplest form.):
Code:
$ ffmpeg -i ~/Desktop/input.mkv -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_slow ~/Desktop/output.mp4
and this is the error:

I've tried changing the bitrate, adding -pass 1, bitrate tolerance, quality based etc... I've tried at least 60 different things... reinstall ffmpeg countless times using different tutorials. It's always the same error.
(1)I got ffmpeg-checkout tarball dated 5 june 2010 . It was bigger than ffmpeg-export of same date but I noticed the binary ffmpeg & ffplay generated after './configure' & 'make' are same size.
(2)I am using ubuntu 8.04 with GNOME. I am able to compile ffmpeg with following options
[Code]....
Do I have to get tarballs (of libx264 & libtheora) & compile them .
I would like to install on my box FFMPEG with libx264 support. First of all I've tried yum install ffmpeg, but it occurs that it downloads a version from 2007 (?) and without libx264. Than I've tried this: [URL]. And everything goes ok till last ./configure:
./configure --enable-gpl --enable-postproc --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-libfaad --enable-swscale --enable-avfilter --enable-pthreads --enable-libxvid --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaac --disable-ffserver --disable-ffplay
And in this moment I do "make" and get:
-bash-3.2# make
gcc -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_ISOC9X_SOURCE -I"/usr/local/lib/tmp/ffmpeg2/ffmpeg" -I"/usr/local/lib/tmp/ffmpeg2/ffmpeg" -fomit-frame-pointer -pthread -g -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wall -Wno-switch -Wdisabled-optimization -Wpointer-arith -Wredundant-decls -Wno-pointer-sign -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -O3 -fno-math-errno

libswscale/swscale.c:3409: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type
make: *** [libswscale/swscale.o] Error 1
And as you can see I get a lots of errors. Tried to install it for 5 day now, How to make this work??
