Hi there! So I installed transcode from cvs these days and played a bit around. I noticed that there really is some new stuff, in features :) but also in cli syntax, which is not trivial.. Noticing x264 support, I really got caught. It was one of the reasons I used more and more mencoder recently. However, I tried to give it a shot, but without success so far.. First I had some trouble to figure out how to use x264 at all but with a little help from IRC and the man page I got it (more or less) working. It's quite strange that I had to specify the muxer (-y ..,..,..) since it is marked optional in the man page.So when I tried
transcode -i /mnt/tmp/ -x dvd -y x264 -w 1000 -o tc-dvd-test ..I'm getting >[transcode] warning: /usr/local/lib/transcode/export_x264.so: cannot open >shared object file: No such file or directory>[transcode] warning: >(dl_loader.c) loading >"/usr/local/lib/transcode/export_x264.so" failed(so it is looking for an >export module). Same with -y x264,lame (tc is looking for encoder_lame, while it should use the export_ module) Finally, transcode -i /mnt/tmp/ -x dvd -y x264,null,avi -w 1000 -o tc-dvd-test loaded encode_x264, *but* it seems that no file is created.. Comments welcome, I'm a bit lost here. Once I understand everything, I'm willing to help with the documentaion.

(I though patch attachment would be kinda overkill). Also, a more general question about x264.cfg: It refers to the mencoder man page (which makes perfectly sense) but does that imply that all default values are set in the same way? (I don't know if these are encoder defaults or set by the application (tc/mencoder)) Sebastian
