However, I'm pretty certain that x264 should be enabled in most distro's builds, because x264 is an open source video codec.

Your version of ffmpg does not have x264 support built in - which would mean that you'd need to download the source-code and dependencies for ffmpg and configure the build to re-enable support for the x264 codec, before building and installing from source. c:v libx264 -x264-params nal-hrdcbr:force-cfr1 -b:v 1M -minrate 1M -maxrate 1M -bufsize 2M The output file needs to be.

OR - if the above steps do not fix the problem:Ģ. Once you have the codec installed, try ffmpg again to see if it works. In other distros, it might be called x264, or something similar.Įither way, find out the exact name of the x264 package for your distro and ensure it is definitely installed. In Debian based distro's, it's called libx264. You haven't said which distro you're using, so it's difficult to give precise instructions, but you'll need to check your package manager lists to find the correct package and check it is installed. You do not have libx264 installed - in which case you'd need to install it. There are two possibilities that I can think of:ġ.
