ffmpeg Unknown encoder ‘mpeg4aac’

Posted by Jefferson Goven on June 30, 2011 at 3:49 pm

Hello,

I am having a problem i just recompile ffmpeg (I install it by doing:
apt-get install dpkg-dev
apt-get source ffmpeg
apt-get build-dep ffmpeg
cd ffmpegcvs-20070329

Then i edit this file and i had at the end of the CONFIG_ALL
nano debian/rules

–enable-decoder=mpeg4aac –enable-encoder=mpeg4aac

Then i do
dpkg-buildpackage
cd ..
dpkg -i *.deb

cd ffmpegcvs-20070329
/debian/rules configure
/debian/rules build
and then make install
)

When i try to convert a video by using the audio codec mpeg4aac (a .3gp file to a .mp4 file):

root: /usr/bin/ffmpeg -i foxmedia_simulated_gent1.3gp -y -b 96k -s vga -vcodec mpeg4 -r 25 -aspect 1:1 -ar 44100 -acodec mpeg4aac -ac 2 -ab 12.k -t 3 test.mp4

This is a very old version. I recommend upgrading to a newer version.

Also, the library specifically related to this is libfaac.
