I am trying to get AVIDemux set up with the X264 codec using this tutorial. The following is what goes down when I get to the ./configure --enable-mp4-output command

Thomas-Phillipss-MacBook:x264 tomdabomb2u$ sudo ./configure --enable-mp4-output
Password:
Unknown option --enable-mp4-output, ignored
Found no assembler
Minimum version is yasm-0.6.2
If you really want to compile without asm, configure with --disable-asm.

So I tried it.

Thomas-Phillipss-MacBook:x264 tomdabomb2u$ sudo ./configure --enable-mp4-output --disable-asm
Unknown option --enable-mp4-output, ignored
Warning: gpac is too old, update to 2007-06-21 UTC or later
Platform:   X86_64
System:     MACOSX
asm:        no
avs:        no
lavf:       no
ffms:       no
gpac:       no
pthread:    yes
filters:    crop select_every
debug:      no
gprof:      no
PIC:        no
shared:     no
visualize:  no
bit depth:  8

You can run 'make' or 'make fprofiled' now.

I issued make, and then Thomas-Phillipss-MacBook:x264 tomdabomb2u$ ./x264 -v -q 20 -o foreman.mp4 foreman_part_qcif.yuv 176x144. And as expected, the results are:

x264 [error]: not compiled with MP4 output support

So I'm stuck. Any ideas?

There's also a Bash script to build avidemux +aac+dts+lame+ogg+x264+xvid (Avidemux 2.6 (SVN revision 7891) using MacPorts.

That immediately caught my attention. Sounds like the sources you downloaded may not be the same ones the guide writer was using. Also, did the git checkout work successfully?

  • Thanks for your help. I was able to get it installed via MacPorts today. I actually installed ffmpeg (sudo ports install ffmpeg), and I think x264 was included in the install. I still do not see the option in AVIDemux though :-\
