[gentoo-user] codec h264

[Uwe Thiem]

Hi all,

anybody in the know whether there is a h264 codec (especially an *encoder*) 
for linux?

mencoder seems to support something called x264enc (according to the man
page)

x264 is still in early development, but you might give it a try.

You can use mencoder (from the mplayer package) to encode h264.

Thanks! I'll have a look but guess "early development" isn't good enough yet.

I asked because we encoded a 1h45m movie with h264 on an mac with surprising 
results. The whole movie in full PAL quality shrunk to about 500MB!!!! The 
encoding took 5 hours on a dual G5, though.

I'd still give it a shot. Most of the time the software is more stable than the 
developers would admit.

ffmpeg is raw code for any and all things video. Most of the aforementioned
software makes use of ffmpeg in one way or another. CVS is the only way
to get at the latest code base....Lots of different codecs and folks
that know their stuff on codecs....

http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/index.php

an old, stale version is in portage:
(eix ffmpeg)

PS drop me a line if/when you get the h264 codec working out of cvs
on gentoo....

I have several different pieces of hardware that produce 'h.264' based
video, everything from embedded systems that are a 'hack in progress'
to finished products from the orient.  Interoperability testing
is always of keen interest to me.

When using MAKEOPTS=-j2 or higher, you can expect some builds to simply 
fail, usually with an error from the linker.  This is because the 
another make process may see an object file that gcc hasn't finished 
writing yet, and spawn a gcc process to link with that incomplete object 
file.

So you have that error, but it also appears that the dependancy rules 
inside the ethereal makefiles do not account for the radius directory, 
so one process ends up trying to use it when it hasn't been created yet.

In either case, the solution is the same: MAKEOPTS=j1 emerge ethereal.

Sorry, but I can attest to -j(n > 1) works locally for me.  It is most likely 
not the issue.

Well the good news is that since you're getting this far, you're almost out of 
the woods...

As far as the radius warnings go, I got those also but it installed w/o them.

There are only minor differences between your command and the one my system 
issued:

i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc "-D_U_=__attribute__((unused))" -Wall -W -O 
-march=athlon -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -I/u
sr/local/include -DXTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -DXUSE_MTSAFE_API 
-I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I
/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/freetype2 
-I/usr/include/freetype2/config -I/usr/i
nclude/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include -o text2pcap 
text2pcap.o text2pcap-scanner.o -Wl,--e
xport-dynamic  -pthread -L/usr/local/lib /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so 
-ldl /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so -lm -lz

The first is the INET6, I don't have ipv6 support enabled on my box (the -ipv6 
use flag).  The added defines for threads I'm not sure about, but I've got 
both nptl and the older thread support enabled (the nptl use flag).

Also mine didn't emit the -mcpu=686 argument for gcc; is this something you 
defined in your CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf?

Basically I would try the following:

1. Disable ipv6 if you are not using it.
2. Check your nptl/nptlonly use flags; if you have nptlonly set, it might be a 
threads issue.
3. Check your CFLAGS and possibly remove the -mcpu definition (as I remember 
that is supposed to be deprecated anyway).

Try revdep-rebuild.  If it is not available emerge gentoolkit and try
again.  You may have some missing links to the libraries.

Good luck,

He got all the way to the last part where it builds doco for ethereal...  If 
it were truly a library issue it would have crapped out long before then.

Please please do NOT hijack threads. If you wish to start a new thread
do NOT just reply to another message and change the subject.

That's a little ironic -- I've been doing that on mailing lists for 
years, I noticed the effect myself right after I sent the message with 
thunderbird's threaded view.

Noone has ever complained before, until now -- in other words, the first 
time I notice and realise how silly it is also the first time someone 
complains -- and I see the complain about 30 seconds after I send an 
apology.....

I tried again with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86".  As always, it just emerges 
the same packages anyway, but I let it run regardless.

Oh dear, how embarassing.  A genuine thnkyou to everyone who replied, 
your efforts are _always_ very welcome.

I'll do some more sanity checking next time before I post -- I'll also 
take care no to hijack an existing thread, for those of you who noticed.

Thanks again!
