ffmpeg doubts

[unnikrisb4u]

Please help me encode raw yuv files to H264 with help of ffmpeg !!

I have used commands like :

ffmpeg -s 352x288 -qscale 3 -vcodec h264 -i bridge-close_cif.yuv out_bridge.h264

And I got the error as :
Unsupported codec for output stream :(

Is it because i missed some parameters in the ffmpeg commands or i build the ffmeg wrongly? :confused:
Can anyone help me out of this issue?

Thanks in Advance.

-vcodec libx264, and use a preset.

ffmpeg -s 352x288 -qscale 3 -vcodec h264 -i bridge-close_cif.yuv out_bridge.h264
In addition to tph's suggestions, don't use -qscale with x264. And it may be necessary to specify the correct framerate and pixel format for raw YUV input.
Here's an encoding guide: http://rob.opendot.cl/index.php/useful-stuff/ffmpeg-x264-encoding-guide/

However, using x264 CLI instead of ffmpeg would be easier when your input is already raw YV12 video.

Is it because i missed some parameters in the ffmpeg commands or i build the ffmeg wrongly? :confused:
You also need to make sure that ffmpeg gets built with libx264 support.

When using ffmpeg, options go before the file they affect. I.e:
ffmpeg [input file options] -i in.file [output file options] out.file

I'm installing the ffmpeg install with libx264 (h264).

Thanks for the support.

Steps I followed :

1. I have downloaded and install libx264 package from videolan.org

2. Then I have install ffmpeg :
# ./configure --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl --enable-shared --disable-muxer=v4l --disable-demuxer=v4l

I have disabled v4l, since i got an error in v4l files.
