ffmpegogg-theora

Does ffmpeg version 0.5 configured on linux support encoding using Theora codec?

I have configured, compiled a FFmpeg source code version 0.5 with versions as below:

FFmpeg version 0.5, Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Fabrice Bellard, et al.
  configuration: --enable-memalign-hack
  libavutil     49.15. 0 / 49.15. 0
  libavcodec    52.20. 0 / 52.20. 0
  libavformat   52.31. 0 / 52.31. 0
  libavdevice   52. 1. 0 / 52. 1. 0

on a linux host.

When I try to encode a raw yuv video using this version using theora codec by giving options as :

ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -s 352x288 -r 30 -i foreman_352_x280_420.yuv -an -vcodec libtheora theora1.ogg

It gives an error: Unknown encoder 'libtheora'

But when i use the same command in a FFmpeg windows executable ( whose version is FFmpeg version SVN-r12665) it encoded to a theora video properly.

  1. Doesnt ffmpeg version 0.5 on linux support theora encoder?
  2. Which version for linux setup,would support theora encoding?
Solution

  • It does if built with --enable-libtheora.
