AND JUST FOR Harald, cut and pasted from my INITIAL message


Just wondering if anybody had gotten ffmpeg and libx262 to work in either mode x262/x264? im using this command line
./ffmpeg -i ../testStreams/Pil.avi -preset faster -vcodec libx264 -x264opts bitrate=1000:vbv-bufsize=2000 -s 720x576 -acodec mp2 -y -f mpegts a.ts and get this
