Ubuntu
transcode package

h264 support not enabled?

Asked by crispy

With dvd::rip I try to encode with ffmpeg to h264. In the log I get the following message: [export_ffmpeg.so] warning: Could not find a FFMPEG codec for 'h264'.

Reading from this mailing this: http://<email address hidden>/msg01240.html makes me believe that transcode has not been build on ubuntu with h264 support (--enable-x264). Is this the case? If so why? And if for some license reasons, can you supply me with a ./configure line that will compile transcode with h264 support please? Kind regards Esben

You need to install the libavcodec-extra-52 package

Thank you. This worked out fine. Two more things: shouldn't this package be a dependency for dvd::rip? And maybe we should add this problem/solution to the dvd::rip answer page?

dvdrip depends on ffmpeg, which depends on libavcodec.

As for dvd:rip answer page, link plz. If you mean this one - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVD%3A%3ARip , I added it.
