    The amazing thing is svn version compiled without any problem but it do not have vhook support.So still the problem remains

    FFmpeg 0.5 is too old to use a recent compiled x264, and I'm unsure which x264 revision will work for you. Perhaps libx264-dev from the repository will work. Never tried it myself.

    Or, if you're patient, a patch is coming soon that will allow recent x264 to work in the FFmpeg 0.5 branch. I'll make a post when it is released.

    Alternatively you can use ffmpeg as a decoding filter in front of the CLI version of x264. This will give you access to all x264 options, including those which are not mapped to ffmpeg. Enter "x264 --longhelp" for a full list.
    Code:
    ffmpeg -i <input file> -r <fps> -s <width>x<height> \
    -f rawvideo -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p \
    -y /dev/stdout | x264 <encoding options> -o <output file> \
    --fps <fps> /dev/stdin <width>x<height>

    Thats a nice workaround (and complex : ) , my primary aim to setupt ffmpeg is to use it with phpvideotoolkit ,

    libx264-67 and it's matching libx264-dev will work fine with the 0.5 release of ffmpeg.

    Not actuallly sure what you mean but ...
    You could wait for the patch FO mentioned or follow what I posted. If you did so I'm 99.9% sure you'd have the 0.5 ffmpeg with vhook and x264 enabled.

    You need to remove any prior x264 builds first and if you have any ppa that provides x264 then disable it.

    You'd run this first, then install the karmic libx264-67 and karmic libx264-dev (1:0.svn20090621+git364d7d-0ubuntu2), then build the 0.5 ffmpeg source, ect.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove libx264-dev x264 ffmpeg
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install libx264-67 libx264-dev
