h264 packetizer not found

[yohann.martineau]

Hello,

My operating system is debian etch.

I'm trying to transcode and stream a file or another stream with VLC 0.8.6d

Source stream or file is an MPEG2-TS containing H264 and mpga.

I compiled it from sources with latest ffmpeg snapshot (SVN-r11604).

I applied the patch given here.

Here is the command line I employed to compile ffmpeg:

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-gpl --enable-pthreads --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libx264 --enable-libfaac

VLC compilation steps:

Code: Select all

./bootstrap ./configure --enable-pth --enable-st --enable-gprof --enable-cprof --enable-mostly-builtin --enable-optimize-memory --enable-shout --enable-live555 --enable-dc1394 --enable-dv --enable-dvdread --enable-dvdnav --enable-v4l --enable-pvr --enable-cddax --enable-cddax --enable-vcdx --enable-dvb --enable-real --enable-realrtsp --enable-flac --enable-tremor --enable-tarkin --enable-theora --enable-svg --enable-snapshot --enable-mga --enable-svgalib --enable-ggi --enable-aa --enable-caca --enable-esd --enable-arts --enable-jack --enable-cyberlink --enable-ncurses --enable-xosd --enable-galaktos --enable-goom --enable-lirc --enable-loader make

I did not run make install, as I have a packaged version of VLC installed with debian repository (version 0.8.6c).

Here is the command line I use to transcode and stream:

Code: Select all

./vlc -I dummy file:///home/d2cs/media/in/test4.mpg --sout='#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=:1235}}'

On my laptop (dell precision m4300), it runs perfectly, but when I run it on a desktop computer (dell precision 390), it does not work, I have the following error message:

Code: Select all

[00000324] stream_out_transcode private error: cannot find decoder [00000324] stream_out_transcode private error: cannot create video chain [00000336] main packetizer error: cannot create packetizer output (h264)

I have exactly the same OS and ffmpeg version on both computers and I used the same commands to compile libraries and VLC. I am surely missing something... I remarked that x264 versions employed are not the same: x264-snapshot-20071106-2245 for the working version and x264-snapshot-20080117-2245 for the "buggy" version. Is there something really different between those versions ?

I will try with the same x264 version, and I'll keep you informed...

--enable-x264 in vlc configure...
Adding it in ffmpeg is useless for vlc.
