transcode config error

garyg007 · 11-22-2008, 09:12 PM

I am using the current slackbuild to install transcode; The configure portion of the slackbuild terminated with the error

Code:

ERROR: option '--enable-libpostproc' failed: cannot compile libpostproc/postprocess.h
libpostproc/postprocess.h can be found in the following packages:
  libpostproc  http://www.ffmpeg.org/

ffmpeg, mplayer and mplayer-codecs-all were also installed using slackbuilds.

Also I can not play a commercial dvd using mplayer.

Any assistance greatly appreciated

I had almost the same issue. I tried to compile Transcode in current, but I always got an error about ImageMagick could not be found, although I had it installed.

I had to remove the "--enable-imagemagick" from the SlackBuild in order to compile it.

what versions are you using. For postproc support you need a relatively new ffmpeg.

If you use external libdvdread and/or libdvdnav you'll need libdvdcss as well. Otherwise it should *just work*

I'm also having problems playing commercial dvds with mplayer even tho I have libdvdcss installed, and playing dvds even those with other region codes works fine in xine. It must be some problem with mplayer because I compiled both svn and rc2 mplayer with all sorts of different options and it just refuses to work.

For postproc you a need a new version of ffmpeg.

Thanks for the comments

The version of ffmpeg is probably the problem. I used the currently available slackbuild for ffmpeg, but the source download failed so I used the source from a while ago. the ffmpeg folks must have been working on their source library when I tried to download ffmpeg; Just tried it again and all works;

Will report what happens when I get ffmpeg re-built.

libdvdread, libdvdnav and libdvdcss were all installed from www.slackbuilds,org yesterday.

Thanks again for the responses.

Yes, Mplayer plays commercial dvd's now; I do get an error playing dvd's but it does not seem to affect the result -an error box is displayed with the message

Code:

Warning MVs not available

I have no idea what this means.

after seeing xine, I prefer it to Mplayer

(not only did I install the latest ffmpeg, I also updated Mplayer to the latest)
