cannot find encoder MPEG AAC Audio

[LeMagu(s)]

Hello everyone,

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

Code: Select all

--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.

Hi,
Have exactly the same problem...

How do you get the file from VLC 0.9.9 and put it in VLC 1.0 ?

Thnak's in advance

You cannot. You have to compile.

[Dan Tennciv]

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 ?
