x264 itself provides a command line interface as well as a library-level interface.

x264 is used to encode video files in mp4, m4v, h.264 (HD) output format.

Some problems with mplayer & x264

Install/compile mplayer with x264 support

-x264encopts is not an MEncoder option
Checking for x264 ... no (in libavcodec: no)   (./configure)

# svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer

# cd /usr/local/src/mplayer

# svn update

# ./configure

After configure make sure you got

Checking for x264 ... yes (in libavcodec: yes)

# make && make install

Try latest version of video tools ffmpeg, mplayer, mencoder, flvtool2, mediainfo  🙂

Find correct path where you installed these components try …..

# locate command

“make sure you are using /usr/bin/mencode and NOT /usr/lib/bin/mencode”
