I need x264
for my project.
I have one at /opt/local/bin/x264
, but when I execute the following command:
x264 --qpfile cuepoints.qp --output output.mp4 input.mp4
it says:
x264 [error]: not compiled with MP4 output support
I decided to compile x264
from the source. I downloaded the source from http://www.videolan.org/ (git://git.videolan.org/x264.git).
Now I do:
cd x264
./configure --enable-mp4-output
And x264 says:
Unknown option --enable-mp4-output, ignored
And indeed, if I open configure
file, there is no such option.
Finally, I could find compiled x264 with mp4 support (see here), but it is 3 years old and I need one more for Windows.
Do you know if x264
have dropped mp4 support, or I need to use a different option to compile it?
Best Answer
There is no
--enable-mp4-output
option. MP4 support is automatically detected, but l-smash or gpac are required.For a script that might compile x264 see HOWTO: x264.
For another example see Compiling X264 on Ubuntu.
Also see the FFmpeg and x264 Encoding Guide.
