    Re: HOWTO: Install and use the latest FFmpeg and x264

    I have only heard of ffmpegsource but have never used it myself. As for lavf and getting around the circular dependency if you want to use both FFmpeg/libx264 and x264/lavf, I suppose you would have to compile FFmpeg without --enable-libx264, compile x264, remove FFmpeg, and then re-compile FFmpeg with --enable-libx264.

    Sounds good to me, but I haven't tried it.

    They are actually not really enabled by default, but are autodetected like all other options (enabled if the relevant headers are installed).
    Thanks - that actually makes more sense than what I was at first thinking. though an even dumber question may be which comes first, - ffmpeg or x264, .. or x264 (no ffmpeg headers,), ffmpeg, an x264 redo..?

    didn't see last reply, which seems another way..

    I like your way better. Much less compiling time.

    Well, FFmpegSource originated as an AviSynth plugin (which is how I started out with it a few years ago), but as of the 2.x branch, is cross-platform.

    You wouldn't have to compile x264 first, as the base requirement for FFmpegSource is only the decoding support, which x264 doesn't affect. There are certain benefits of using FFMS2 input over LAVF, but I can't remember exactly what they were (probably frame accuracy and some other things - it was listed in the posts concerning the difference over on Doom9 & Doom10).

    I'd compile the decoder-only FFmpeg to a separate prefix, build FFMS2 against that prefix, build x264 as usual but against the decoder-only FFmpeg prefix and FFMS2, and then do a regular FFmpeg compile against that x264. That's probably the cleanest way. Don't ask me how to do that exactly, though - I only tried it once and didn't give it that kind of meticulous attention. I have no need for LAVF and FFMS2 input, so I just leave them out.

    Just a FYI: if x264 r1460 segfaults, it's not just you. It segfaults for me on five different machines, running three different OSes.

    AviSynth provides an encoder with a critical feature, that is the ability to do frame-accurate trimming on both video and audio. Once FFmpeg gets frame-accurate seek/trim, the need for avis will be decreased. Just for the record, there already is an extension to allow frame-accurate seek in ffmpeg.

    But I think you just can't beat the amount of powerful functions and plugins avis has. It certainly is more convenient to use, at least on windows.

    You can use it on Linux, and it's not that much of a hassle (as long as you don't use VSFilter ).

    I'll have to give that a look. I've been messing with Pitivi Video Editor, but it has some issues. In one case, the output had desynced video & audio. As in, the sound lagged slightly behind the video. Very annoying.

    May have been because I was using .avi clips to make one larger clip. I guess Pitivi doesn't do "frame accurate" editing.

    I tried again, using .mp4 files (converted courtesy ffmpeg at the command line) of the same source material. Video and audio came out in sync, but I also got some kind of audio artifact. Bah.

    when trying to install ffmpeg after make I get lots of garbage, then it finishes off with...

    Probably nothing, this seems to indicate a bug in the ffmpeg source code.

    EDIT: I can't reproduce those results though, it works fine here both on Linux and OS X. Maybe update your ffmpeg source code?
