Hi all,

anybody in the know whether there is a h264 codec (especially an *encoder*) 
for linux?

mencoder seems to support something called x264enc (according to the man
page)

x264 is still in early development, but you might give it a try.

You can use mencoder (from the mplayer package) to encode h264.

Thanks! I'll have a look but guess early development isn't good enough yet.

I asked because we encoded a 1h45m movie with h264 on an mac with surprising 
results. The whole movie in full PAL quality shrunk to about 500MB The 
encoding took 5 hours on a dual G5, though.

I'd still give it a shot. Most of the time the software is more stable than the 
developers would admit.

it would be about as stable as anything released for windows
