mencoder still doesn't do x264

axel -

i checked the new version of mplayer. as you said we must have gotten
to mplayer in a small timewarp. :-D thanks for your packaging efforts.

i tested the new version of mencoder and it still doesn't have the x264
support in it. it complains thus:

Exiting... (error parsing command line)
MEncoder SVN-r29934-snapshot-4.4.1 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team
-x264enc is not an MEncoder option

is there perhaps some build option turned off these days?

No, I checked the logs and they contain

[...]
Checking for x264 ... yes (in libavcodec: yes)
[...]
Enabled optional drivers:
[...]
Codecs: libschroedinger libdirac x264 xvid libdv libopencore_amrwb libopencore_amrnb libavcodec(internal) real xanim faad2 faac musepack libdca libmpeg2(internal) liba52(external) mp3lib(internal) libtheora speex tremor(internal) twolame libmad liblzo gif

You can also try
$ mencoder -list-options|grep 264

heh. got it. i guess i got bitten originally by the missing x264
thingie, and had tested with a couple of different options. and went
from x264encopts to x264enc, which were both listed in the man page.
but, i guess the enc version isn't acceptable any more.

and then forgot to change it back.

thanks for your help axel. sorry for the stupid hassle. i KNOW you
have better things to do with your time. :-)

Sorry for reviving posts from a few months ago, but I felt it was
appropriate to continue along with this thread...

I'm trying to do some transcoding with mencoder using x264. I found
an mencoder command line that I would like to use, but unfortunately
it isn't working. When I run it I get a message saying "-x264encopts
is not an MEncoder option".

I'm running the latest version of the mplayer package from the atrpms
repo -- mplayer-1.0-73_snap20100124. When I run the suggested
'mencoder -list-options | grep 264' command the "ovc:x264" line is
returned, but I don't get the "x264encopts" line. Did something get
missed with the latest compile of this package, or am I missing
something?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John

john and the ML -

i just checked. i am also having the same problem. it appeared when i
moved to mplayer-1.0-73_snap20100124.fc11.x86_64

i went back to mplayer-1.0-72_snap20091120.fc11.x86_64 and all is well
again. so, i presume that the 20100124 snap is badly broken.

I see the same problem with mplayer-1.0-73_snap20100124.fc12.x86_64:

mencoder -ovc help
MEncoder SVN-r30417-snapshot-4.4.2 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team

Available codecs:
copy - frame copy, without re-encoding. Doesn't work with filters.
frameno - special audio-only file for 3-pass encoding, see DOCS.
raw - uncompressed video. Use fourcc option to set format explicitly.
nuv - nuppel video
lavc - libavcodec codecs - best quality!
libdv - DV encoding with libdv v0.9.5
xvid - XviD encoding

And the message "-x264encopts is not an MEncoder option" appears if I
try to encode to x264.

But everything works with the earlier version
mplayer-1.0-72_snap20091120.fc12.x86_64, still available on ATRPMs.

There was another recent post on this, in case you didn't read it:
This is now fixed in the current packages. Thanks for the reports!

I can confirm that h264 works with mplayer-1.0-74_snap20100403.fc12.x86_64
