Hello everyone,

I try to stream/transcode a video from my mac to my iphone with VLC :

--sout='#transcode{width=320,height=240,vcodec=mp4v,vb=128,acodec=mp4a,ab=32}:standard{mux=mp4,dst=:8080,access=http}:sout-transcode-soverlay=0'

but I have this error :

Code: Select all

cannot find encoder MPEG AAC Audio 
*** Your FFMPEG installation is crippled.   ***
*** Please check with your FFMPEG packager. ***
*** This is NOT a VLC media player issue.   ***

However I have ffmpeg installed with macport and the aac encoder is supposed to work

Code: Select all

D     aac             raw ADTS AAC
D A   aac             Advanced Audio Coding
 EA    libfaac         libfaac AAC (Advanced Audio Codec)

I heard aac encoding with disabled on VLC 1.0 due to legal issue but is there a way to make this work ? Maybe by compiling or downgrade to a previous version ?

Thank you.

It is removed of newer FFmpeg for legal reasons.
0.9.9 still has it.

You cannot. You have to compile.

Well....

Is it long to explain ? (I must say that I don't know what you mean by "compile" !)

Or do you know where i can find a tuto ?
