Encode

[sisqonrw]

hi, i am using the app https://launchpad.net/encode and have problems. i tried to convert something:

/etc/encode/ffmpeg -i '/home/x/x/110525.mp4' -ab 64k -ar 44100 -b 1000k -f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -vpre default -ac 2 -pass 1 -acodec libfaac '/home/x/x/110525.mp4.mp4' && /etc/encode/ffmpeg -i '/home/x/x/110525.mp4' -ab 64k -ar 44100 -b 1000k -f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -vpre default -ac 2 -y -pass 2 -acodec libfaac '/home/x/x/110525.mp4.mp4'

and get this report:

/etc/encode/ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.104: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

what is the problem here?

Re: Encode

The problem is you specified an x.264 codec on the command line and that codec either doesn't exist on your machine, is the wrong version or is in the wrong location.

Re: Encode

It's not gonna be easy.

Lucid comes with libx264.so version 85 and encode is asking for version 104.

edit: It appears that mp4 support was left out of the x.264 codec in Lucid. See this thread -

Here's a post on how to upgrade ffmpeg and x.264 -

personally I wouldn't do it as the chance to break things appears to be pretty high. It'd be a fair bit less painful to upgrade but if you must use encode you'd have to go all the way to Natty as Maverick only has x.264 version 98 but Natty comes with version 106.

Since there is no mp4 support in x.264 in Lucid your best bet might be to upgrade to Maverick and use avidemux instead of going all the way to Natty.

Re: Encode

You could try avidemux.

Hope this helps -
