H.323 is a communications protocol like SIP.   H261 is a codec like ulaw or 
gsm.      You do not need H323 unless you are using the H323 protocol INSTEAD 
of SIP.

I see. In Ekiga video codec window they are listed like:

[ ] h261    90kHz H.323. SIP
etc.

Which is what I'm going by. The address that I'm connecting to /is/ a
sip: address. I assumed from the 'H.323' that it was needed. If that's
not the case, then something else is missing for the codecs to not be
built.

Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] ast_writefile: No such format 'h261', yet h261 is 
the only video format that works.

On (21/03/14 13:28), Adrian Serafini <[email protected]> put forth the 
proposition:

If h261 is checked in ekiga's video format list I have video, and

[Mar 21 16:25:32] WARNING[31818][C-00000010]: file.c:1241
ast_writefile: No such format 'h261'

Ekiga can do SIP.  Maybe try that?  And set/prioritize the codec in
ekiga to desired codec, not h261.

I am using SIP. I've tried all sorts of ordering/checking/unchecking.
The problem seems to be related to not having h323 installed.
