updated ffmpeg builds for windows

[teddg]

Were is the best place to get updated ffmpeg builds for windows?

Some example bat files have commands that don't work on the most recent builds downloaded from http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/ffmpeg/ - such as h264 (instead of libx264), flags2 and -f ipod.

Otherwise, what do I need to compile my own version (I have a little experience with mingw about 3 years ago).

thanks

Thanks - that link has good compiling info.

I'm currently using the ffmpeg binary included with winff. It's the only one I've tried that has the h264 tag instead of libx264. Is there any difference?

Using h264 as the vcodec will use the libavcodec H.264/AVC encoder but libx264 as the vcodec will use the x264 library for encoding. The libav encoder is inferior to x264. --enable-libx264 must be given when compiling ffmpeg to let it use x264 which then seems to disable the libav encoder.

Please correct me if I am incorrect.
