How to compile FFmpeg with x265 support?

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 25204 / 3 Years ago, thu, may 6, 2021, 9:51:20

Today I found out that x265 is already present in ffmpeg so I compiled ffmpeg with this guide

Sadly libx265 did not work on ubuntu, however on windows I tried the same thing with zeranoe ffmpeg build and it worked without a problem.

So do you think i did something wrong or it is not yet implemented in linux build (using that guide)? The results of the command ffmpeg -codecs | grep -i hevc show:

  ffmpeg version 2.1.git Copyright (c) 2000-2014 the FFmpeg developers

at this time, (Feb 19 '14) the version of ffmpeg you compiled only supports decoding, not encoding.

From the output of your command :

D.V.L. hevc H.265 / HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding)

Codecs:

D..... = Decoding supported

.E.... = Encoding supported

..V... = Video codec

..A... = Audio codec

..S... = Subtitle codec

...I.. = Intra frame-only codec

....L. = Lossy compression

.....S = Lossless compression

You can try this pre-compiled binary - https://code.google.com/p/x265/downloads/detail?name=x265-bin-ffmpeg-201206-preview2.zip&can=2&q=&sort=-uploaded
