I am not sure of what errors you are referring to. > The Compilation Guide (trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu) states: > > "If your repository provides libx264-dev version ≥ 118, > then you can install that instead of compiling > .... > If your repository provides libx265-dev version ≥ 68. > then you can install that instead of compiling" > > Running "apt show" on these two libraries shows the following versions > in the repo: > lib264, Version 2:0.148.2643+git5c65704-1 > lib265, Version 1.9-3 > > Are these new enough to use in compilation ? Yes they are recent enough, but these packages are old and you would be missing out on the newer changes (especially for libx265). So although you can use these packages I recommend at least compiling libx265 instead of using the repo package: the guide provides instructions to do so. Or if you don't intend on encoding using either of these encoding libraries you can skip them and remove --enable-libx264 and/or --enable-libx265 from your ffmpeg configure line. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
