mencoder
by st373n on May.29, 2009, under FilmRedux
Im compiling up a the latest svn of mencoder to include in the next build of FilmRedux, the current version thats inside the application bundle is now outdated and I have noticed that some of the files that fail to convert in the front-end ie FilmRedux also fail to convert manually from the command line, leading me to believe the one of the issues is with the included mencoder. While doing this I have added the Lame MP3 encoder into the build.
I would like to do away with the separate download of the codec support pack as I hope to get mencoder compiled with either some static libraries this time and include any additionals in a framework inside the bundle but will have to see how it goes.

How about feature enabling stitching videos together?
It would be great to have it in FilmRedux. Now I have to use another app for that.

Yes thats a good idea, there is an option in the UI but it still needs code behind it to make it work. its on my to do list.

Hi Spacey,
Scroll to the bottom of my blog and click the FilmRedux link under the downloads section. Thats a permalink for my latest build.

Hey, thanks for the work you’re putting into releasing pre-compiled builds of Transcoder Redux. I’ve been fiddling around with compiling stuff for the past year or so, and I’ve come to the point where I’m comfortable updating my svn checkouts every so often, recompiling a binary, and loading that into my computer.
Looking at the resources inside the application, is it safe for me to simply replace mencoder with my own compiled version? I know there are a lot more factors to include, but where can I get started? I see you’ve compiled the SVN-28337 build with gcc version 4.0.1. The latest revision is 29404, and the latest gcc is 4.4.0 (well, stable). Are there special compiling instructions I need to use if I’m going to replace my homemade mencoder build into the application resources?
Thanks!

Hi Sure you can replace it with your own binary, the only prerequisites are that you have the necessary dependancies installed such as libfaac, libx264, mp3lame and then pass the necessary compile flags to include support for them at build time, I compiled the binary on intel and PPC and then lipo’d it together, but you could just compile it for your cpu if you dont require a universal binary.
Providing none of the cli commands have changed in the latest revision there should be no problems.

+1 for stitching support. Really fantastic work on this. Apart from stitching, this has now completely replaced VisualHub for me!

Stitching is nearly there, one final issue to work out and then it will be ready to include in the next release
