fc12 mencoder missing x264

The current mplayer-1.0-73_snap20100124.fc12.i686.rpm mencoder
is missing the x264 codec

mencoder -ovc help
MEncoder SVN-r30417-snapshot-4.4.2 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team
142 audio & 332 video codecs

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!
vfw - VfW DLLs, read DOCS/HTML/en/encoding-guide.html.
qtvideo - QuickTime DLLs, currently only SVQ1/3 are supported.
libdv - DV encoding with libdv v0.9.5
xvid - XviD encoding

The earlier mplayer-1.0-72_snap20091120.fc12.i686.rpm has x264

mencoder -ovc help
MEncoder SVN-r29934-snapshot-4.4.2 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team
141 audio & 308 video codecs

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!
vfw - VfW DLLs, read DOCS/HTML/en/encoding-guide.html.
qtvideo - QuickTime DLLs, currently only SVQ1/3 are supported.
libdv - DV encoding with libdv v0.9.5
xvid - XviD encoding
x264 - H.264 encoding

Would it be possible to get a build with the x264 codec in it.

Thanks

Have the same issue. There seems to have been a change to the way Xorg finds it's drivers.
If you have two or more versions of the Nvidia drivers installed then under
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/
there will be directories for each version and a sym link pointing to the the one setup to use.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2010-04-01 19:10 nvidia-190.53_drv.so -> nvidia-graphics-190.53/nvidia_drv.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2010-04-01 19:10 nvidia-195.36.15_drv.so -> nvidia-graphics-195.36.15/nvidia_drv.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 69 2010-04-01 19:10 nvidia_drv.so -> /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia-graphics-195.36.15/nvidia_drv.so
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-04-01 19:10 nvidia-graphics-195.36.15
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-04-01 19:10 nvidia-graphics-190.53

For some reason it will always load the nvidia-190.53_drv.so
Attempts to get things to work -
1) checked ldconfig setup but /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers is not in it so don't think xorg uses it to find it's drivers.
2) renamed nvidia-graphics-190.53 to XXnvidia-graphics-190.53
3) removed the nvidia-190.53_drv.so sym link.
None of the above fixed the problem. Always loaded nvidia-graphics-190.53 driver.

To get it to work -
1) tar'ed up the nvidia-graphics-190.53 directory and removed it.
Probably good idea to put everything back before removing nvidia-graphics190.53-190.53-120.fc12.i686 package

Does anyone know how xorg searches for it's drivers?

nvidia-graphics-switch contains a line like

rm -f /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.*o 2>&1 || :

which removes all symlinks of this kind before adding the proper
one.

> Does anyone know how xorg searches for it's drivers?

Maybe it started descending into subdirectories, that would explain how
it finds it even w/o symlinks.

Yep, was think the same thing also. There have been multiple xorg
updates in the last few months so this might be a change done.

Did a quick search and the xorg man page has for modules (could not find
anything for the drivers)
"Modules are searched for in each directory specified in the ModulePath
search path, and in the drivers, input, extensions, fonts, and internal
subdirectories of each of those directories."
The interesting part being "and internal subdirectories of each of those
directories"

Means the current method of having multiple nvidia drivers installed and
selecting between then via sym link won't work any longer.

Paulo had already prepared a new mplayer package and I freshened up
x264/ffmpeg to allow it to pic up x264 again, so please upgrade and
(hopefully) enjoy! :)

The new mplayer broguht back x264 even with the previous ffmpeg.

By the way, the new ffmpeg is not installing on RHEL5. I forgot the error
message. Maybe something to do with matroska?

Sorry, is not matroska, is libtheora:

libtheora is in atrpms-testing, because there is an old (alpha7)
release in the offical RHEL5 repo. :/
