FFmpeg encoder module
Posted: 04 May 2017 20:22
Is there anything extra I need to do in order to use the ffmpeg encoder module with VLC? I'm trying to use "--sout=#transcode{venc=ffmpeg,vcodec=h264} ..." with 2.2.4 Weatherwax on Windows, but all I get is a warning that FFmpeg is broken.
The message received is added below, in spite of the warnings that "this is NOT a VLC media player issue". Is this telling me that VLC is looking for an ffmpeg installation outside of VLC or am I doing something else wrong? Thanks for any suggestions.
cannot find encoder H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)
Your Libav/FFmpeg installation is crippled.
Please check with your Libav/FFmpeg packager.
This is NOT a VLC media player issue.
Streaming / Transcoding failed
It seems your Libav/FFmpeg (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:
H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10).
If you don't know how to fix this, ask for support from your distribution.
This is not an error inside VLC media player.
Do not contact the VideoLAN project about this issue.
