Compiling vlc 1.0.2 with ffmpeg

[kirc05]

Hi, guys!

I'm trying to compile vlc with ffmpeg, but so far i didn't have any luck.

I'm getting the following error:

Code: Select all

Here's my info about ffmpeg and vlc :

Seems everything is okay, but I keep getting this error and I don't know what to do

Could you help me with this ?

Thanks!

Did you compile FFmpeg yourself ? if yes did you do "make install" ? If no, are you sure vlc configure and vlc at runtime pick that version of FFmpeg ?
does ffmpeg -formats list mp2v for encoding ?


The debugs line before "cannot open encoder" could be interesting.

Also note for your commandline (that you don't provide btw) that the module is now called avcodec and not ffmpeg

It sounds like you are using a version of libavcodec that has been stripped of mpeg2 encoding support...
