x264 for mac

[xbox360]

Is there a way to run x264 encoder on MacOSX 10.6.4 ?

[J_Darnley]

Compile it (or download one done for you), open whatever you guys have for a terminal, run: x264 INPUT -o OUTPUT

I downloaded yasm (http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/) & GIT for Mac OSX (http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/) then in terminal I typed this:

git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git

now I have a x264 folder with all the source code's, then I cd into the x264 sourcecode folder & type this in terminal:

./configure

Now type:

make

when completed, you will have a x264 file in the sourcecode folder, which is 100% working in MacOSX 10.6

x264 from svn/git compiles perfectly on 10.6(.4) (with gcc 4.2.1 from XCode and eg with yasm 1.0.1), including mp4 support and ffmpeg libs.

No need to --disable-asm ....

[Dark Shikari]

--disable-asmWe need to add a function to the configure script that reaches out of the screen and smacks your hands away from the keyboard when you do that.

We need to add a function to the configure script that reaches out of the screen and smacks your hands away from the keyboard when you do that.

Until that function is officially committed,
I will do its job for you. :)

how do I compile with mp4 and ffmpeg libs support ?

[lucassp]

For OSX,
A) install Xcode - it's on the OSX install disc or through Apple Developer Connection.
B) Install MacPorts (by following Parts 1 & 2 from http://davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/ - although if you want to go on to install wine feel free to).
C) Use MacPorts to install subversion, git-core, yasm, nasm, texi2html, automake, autoconf, libtool, pkg-config (might already be installed through Xcode...I can never seem to remember this), and I think that's it.

All -march=pentium3 parts should be changed to the processor you actually have; refer to GCC's documentation for that list (http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html)...-march=native could also be used if you'd rather not take the time to target your cpu explicitly and let GCC autodetect it.

The MSYS/MinGW instructions are pretty much identical to those - the only place they differ are that ffmpeg requires two additional options: --enable-memalign-hack and -U__STRICT_ANSI__ needs to be added to the cflags, like --extra-cflags"-U__STRICT_ANSI__ -march=pentium3".

EDIT: I forgot...I have read reports that ffmpeg won't build under Snow Leopard unless --disable-asm and --arch=x86_64 are also given. I'm not entirely sure because I can't remember if I've ever built without those options, so be aware of that as well.

PS: How do you use libswscale in the command line?

Updated ! (now only it is fully usable on MacOSX)

The L-SMASH patch has been a bit of a moving target in regard to its filename...so the 'mp4muxer.diff' part should now be 'x264_lsmash.diff'.

libswscale support in x264 comes along with FFMS or I have to compile it separately?

You don't need lavf or ffms to be able to use swscale through the resize filter. If you want to compile x264 with any of these features you will need to either download pre-compiled ones or compile them yourself.

it's relatively the other way around:
FFMS and libavfilter are not capable of being supported without libswscale support

[lucassp]

I'm getting an error while trying to compile ffmpeg on 10.6
./configure --prefix=$HOME/ffms2_build --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-postproc --disable-encoders --disable-muxers --disable-debug --disable-network --disable-hwaccels --disable-indevs --disable-outdevs --extra-cflags="-march=pentium3"gcc is unable to create an executable file.
If gcc is a cross-compiler, use the --enable-cross-compile option.
Only do this if you know what cross compiling means.
C compiler test failed.

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from SVN. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@mplayerhq.hu mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.


Any suggestions? Thanks!

[kemuri-_9]

ffmpeg makes a config.log for a reason...
look at it.
