Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Find Libx264 Or Libxvid
Jan 29, 2011
I'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.
Exiting...
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.

OS: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)
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:
[Code]....
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.

I'm trying to install ffmpeg however I always get an error when I run ./configure. I know xvid is compelled into the dir below, this is the output from the xvid make install.
make install
D: /usr/local/lib
I: /usr/local/lib/libxvidcore.so.4.2
I: /usr/local/lib/libxvidcore.a
D: /usr/local/include
I: /usr/local/include/xvid.h
Then from the ffmpeg directory I run
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/local --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libxvid --enable-gpl --enable-shared
ERROR: libxvid not found

I am testing several programs for video editing and video format change.I have been trying avidemux, and now I am trying to use ffmpeg, and a graphical frontend for it, Winff.As an example I am trying to convert an MP4 file to AVI. I obtain an error that says: "Unknown encoder 'libxvid'". How could I possibly now what I have to install to be able to convert the files without errors?
PD: This is the output from ffmpeg when called from Winff:

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

It'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:
[Code]....
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?

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 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
-c -o libswscale/swscale.o libswscale/swscale.c .....
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??

Can anyone point me towards the location of w32codecs for Ubuntu 9.10? I found them a month or so ago but can't find them now. Where do I look?

I've installed Ubuntu Minimal 9.10 (64-bit) on a Gateway ML6720 laptop. I run Jockey-GTK in terminator and after searching, it brings back no results and says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." I don't really have a clue of what I could be missing, but I got my drivers working in Arch on this laptop before so it can't be anything too difficult[URL]

Everything works outside of Skype. Speakers work in Skype, but the microphone stays dead. I've dumped Pulseaudio, made sure volume is up in Alsa, rebooted, but Skype still lists Pulseaudio as what it's using! How do I get its tiny mind to use something else? There was also a thread saying an earlier version of Skype, 2.1.0.47, used to work, but I can't find a 64-bit version of that. I've got the 32-bit version which I could run in a 32-bit ubuntu in virtualbox, but fergawdssake there has to be a better way!How do I make sure the system isn't still somehow using Pulseaudio? I did purge it. It should be gone. Output of various system specs:
Code:
uname -a
Linux bunty 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 08:03:28 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've got a little video and I want to crop it so that a part of it falls away. I installed and tried Openshot, Kino, Pitivi and Kdenlive, but I can't seem to find a way to crop my video. Isn't there any way to crop videos in Ubuntu, or am I just blind and overlooking the function?

I am using VLC to capture video from my webcam. So to set the video device I use /dev/video0 (built in webcam), but I need to specify the path to the built in mic and I can't find what that path is. If it help any, it seem my system is configured to use pulse audio instead of alsa. Is there any script to run to find where my mic is "pathed" at? arecord -l returns this:
$ arecord -l

I have this software I want to use to extract data from a Polar heart rate monitor. Everything related to sound is working flawlessly. I just need to know the device name of the front microphone ("microphone" 2" in sound properties) so that I can insert it in the following cli command for a script: "rs200_decode -m /dev/XXX -b -o /home/user/dumb.bin"
I checked the forums but I only see references to /dev/dsp, /dev/audio, etc. I don't have any of those but rather /dev/snd/controlC0, hwC0D2, pcmC0D0c, pcmC0D0p, pcmC0D1p and pcmC0D2c.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit. The sound card is a generic HDA Intel audio chip. Lspci outputs: Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller.

I am not sure if this is the correct forum but I trust the Administrators can move it if need be. I recently "Frankensteined" a computer together putting Ubuntu 10.10 as the OS. I have a ScanExpress S40 scanner and cannot find drivers for it nor does anything occur when I plug it into the computer. where I can find a generic driver that work.

Up until recently I have had no problem playing all kinds of video in Ubuntu. I recently upgraded to Lucid and I can't remember if I was able to play videos after that, but yesterday I found that I am unable to play flv or MP4 videos in either totem or vlc. Converting them to ogv using ffmpeg allows them to play just fine, and I can edit the flv and mp4 in Avidemux, so there is nothing wrong with the files themselves. Not sure what I've done, can't seem to find a bug in launchpad for this, so I am assuming it is a problem with my setup somehow.

I have a video that is currently in .mkv format, and I need it in .avi, however, when I attempt to convert it with MEncoder, it cannot find the video. (Please note this is my first attempt to convert anything with MEncoder, or convert any video on Linux). What I entered and my results are as follows -
mencoder Pocketful_Of_Rainbows.mkv -o Pocketful_Of_Rainbows.avi -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame
MEncoder SVN-r29237-4.4.1 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team

I am new to Linux but i am a fast learner ...!
Well, i've been trying lately to get my v4l recognized and well supported tv tuner to work with gv4l http://gv4l.sourceforge.net/.
I've already installed transcode http://www.transcoding.org/
and gv4l via source! All with no errors except one major fluke ...!
When i am trying to open gv4l a message pops up saying that transcode can't be found or it's not in the programs known path ...
I really need to get gv4l working for tv capture needs cause it supports scheduled captures too without having to get along with mythtv that goes a long way from my purposes...!
Is anyone familiar with this kind of problem ??
Any ideas about what i am missing or what i should do ?

Just installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 on my Acer ao532h netbook.I did a clean install, but I had been running UNR 9.10 for some time without a hitch. The new version fixed a slight bug that had made it necessary to tinker with the wifi adapter in the old version, and also seems to boot faster as advertised. However, there is one slight problem with the new version: when I attempt to engage visual effects in the appearance control panel (something which worked in the old version), the options are grayed out, as if the video driver is not installed. When I go to the hardware drivers panel, it doesn't detect any drivers to install. As far as I can remember, I didn't have to install any drivers for the GMA 3150 graphics card in the old version of UNR.

This never happened with Ubuntu 8.10-9.10, but both my video players, VLC and Movie Player, say they can't find the wma codec (actually it says wmas, and this is referring to videos not audio) and says that this can't be put right, even though at the same time these players have begun to play the video correctly.
I've got all the updates and the Restricted Extras, etc. Everything seems to be working. This is on an Acer Aspire One, dual booting with W7, installed from USB stick.
