I wanted to try to use HEVC for a transcoding task.
I downloaded a nighlty build (vlc-2.2.0-git-20140430-0402)
To start from something simple, I used the built-in vlc functions and got those parameters:
Code: Select all
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=hevc,scale=0.25}:http{mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=:8080/} :sout-keep
I get the same error with any nightly I get, I tried multiple ones in the 2.1 and 2.2 branch. Well some builds do not even display the error, but the resulting file is only an audio extraction.It seems your Libav/FFmpeg (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:
MPEG-H Part2/HEVC (H.265).
Searching on the forums, I maybe misinterpreted the fact that from 2.1 (and even more 2.2) the encoder was available.
But maybe I should use the command line and use other parameters?
If so, is there a help file with some parameters available somewhere?
I thank you for any useful help provided.
