x264 build with VLC on windows for streaming

hi everyone,
I compile x264 source using
./configure --prefix=/usr/compiled --enable-shared --enable-pic
make
make install
It created libx264.a, libx264.dll, libx264-76.dll, x264.exe -> pasted them in /usr/win32/ bin, include and lib
Compiled VLC 1.0.5. Tried Streaming http but gives an error:
It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:
H264/MPEG AVC PART 10
but i do have x264 encoder in vlc source code. What is wrong? how to correctly build x264 with vlc?
please help.. thanks..

What encoding option you used? You have libx264_plugin.dll in plugins folder?

when you say encoding option do you mean this one? -> :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=169.254:88:52:1024}
And yes i do have libx264_plugin.dll on vlc 1.0.5\plugins.
Actually before I only used vlc source code and contrib and it works fine in streaming. But when i compiled x264 snapshot to contrib, then compile vlc again, the video encoder doesnt work, but audio streams fine.

It is just that
It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:
H264/MPEG AVC PART 10
means that VLC cannot find the encoder (and VLC shouldn't try libavcodecs one).
If you use
Code: Select all
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=169.254:88:52:1024}
does it work any better?

i changed on how i compiled the x264 snapshot. compiled x264 on its own folder with options
Code: Select all
./configure --prefix=/usr/win32/x264 --enable-shared --enable-pic
make
make install
then added to configure
--with-x264-tree=usr/win32/x264
then
compiled vlc
though no error was found when i run vlc but i think the x264 encoder used was not that of the snapshot.
I did it also using it as you suggested w/ venc=x264.
Still it uses the x264 encoder of vlc. Is there a way to call the x264 snapshot? edit any makefile?
By the way thank you for all the replies
