0002402: xvid as render format not available

Notes
(0007546) evorster (reporter) 2011-11-12 06:15	Which version of ffmpeg are you running? Did you recently upgrade ffmpeg? I saw something similar, and I suspect it's ffmpeg 0.7.6 that is not exporting it's capabilities. This problem went away for me when I downgraded to 0.7.6

(0007572) j-b-m (administrator) 2011-11-14 15:54	I updated the build script to now use Kdenlive's git repository, so you might want to download the new version at: http://www.mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/BuildScripts [^] However, the build script does not enable libxvid in FFmpeg. you might want to edit the build script, and at line 0000114:0000434, you will see the default ffmpeg compile flags: CONFIG[0]="./configure --prefix=$FINAL_INSTALL_DIR --disable-doc (...)" Add "--enable-libxvid" to the list of options and you should get libxvid support.

Reason: FAILURE Some kind of error occured: Unable to change to directory lame Seeing "lame-3.99.1" but not "lame" in kdenlive/src dir I guessed the reason to a simple naming issue and as attempt of workaround I added the link ln -s lame-3.99.1 lame in that dir and rerun of the build script then as the last lines outputs ...cut...cut...cut...cut...cut...cut...cut...cut...cut...cut...

(0007574) j-b-m (administrator) 2011-11-14 17:58	Thanks, I am aware of these issues currently working on it.

(0007575) j-b-m (administrator) 2011-11-14 18:19	Fixed in Kdenlive's git now. The lame error was caused by me forgetting to update one of the build script variable, you can manually edit it, and at line ~ 406, change the lame version to look like that: REVISIONS[7]="lame-3.99.1" I sent an updated version of the script to Dan, so the version of the script on mltframework.org should be updated in a few hours. regards

(0007577) colesen (reporter) 2011-11-14 21:06	Run of the build script downloaded just now completes successfully without making any modifications.

ERROR: Unable to configure ffmpeg LOG: Process has finished. Reason: FAILURE Some kind of error occured: Unable to configure ffmpeg The name of the xvid so file is /usr/lib/libxvidcore.so.4 -> libxvidcore.so.4.3 and thinking that it is not found perhaps because the name is not libxvid.so I symlinked that name and reran the build script but it made no difference.

(0007578) j-b-m (administrator) 2011-11-14 21:10	Have you installed the libxvidcore-dev package? It is required to compile ffmpeg with xvid support...

(0007579) colesen (reporter) 2011-11-14 21:46	I forgot. But with that it now builds and allows rendering using xvid.
