Help with MEncoder Mac compiling

[randyharris]

Hi,

I'm trying to either find or compile a MEncoder binary for Snow Leopard x86 that is current with WM9 support.

Can't seem to find a binary to download. I see that Mplayer OS X Extended has this binary baked into it, but I don't see how to get the binary only.

Using MacPorts to try and make a binary doesn't make a distributable single file MEncoder file (not portable), it has a lot of dependancies on other library files - and actually not even sure if a macports MEncoder build supports wm9.

I'd really appreciate your help with this.

Thanks

Try to build a static binary. See output of ./configure --help.

Made with a mplayer checkout, which is not up to date:
Stefan@LUMKGLAP ~/mplayer
$ ./configure --help | grep static
--disable-libavutil_a disable static libavutil [autodetect]
--disable-libavcodec_a disable static libavcodec [autodetect]
--disable-libavformat_a disable static libavformat [autodetect]
--disable-libpostproc_a disable static libpostproc [autodetect]
--disable-libswscale_a disable static libswscale [autodetect]
--enable-static build a statically linked binary

Stefan@LUMKGLAP ~/mplayer
$ ./configure --help | grep shared
--disable-libavutil_so disable shared libavutil [autodetect]
--disable-libavcodec_so disable shared libavcodec [autodetect]
--disable-libavformat_so disable shared libavformat [autodetect]
--disable-libpostproc_so disable shared libpostproc [autodetect]
--disable-libswscale_so disable shared libswscale [autodetect]

Thanks I'll look into that - and FYI for anybody else who happens to stumble in here. The Nightly builds of HandBrakeCLI and GUI now have support for WMV-HD also - audio to Stereo/Dolby Digital not 5.1 though.
