[Libav-user] FFMpeg codec not found

[yag at aber.ac.uk]

(I am french, sorry if there are mistakes in my sentences)

Hello,

I met troubles and I need help.
I develop a program in C++ using some libraries like OpenGL and ODE, and I
want to export a video from an animation created with OpenGL. To do that I
tried to use ffmpeg. After several problems of link of libraries (I have
to work with Fedora 16 and I used to develop programs with Visual Studio
before, so I am quite a noob with location of libraries etc.), I can
compile and execute some code using ffmpeg. To test this library, I used
this example (http://drv.nu/ffmpeg/doxygen/api-example_8c-source.html),
maybe a newer version but it's almost the same.

I get this error when launching with any codec :
Video encoding
codec not found

I did research to solve this problem but I am stuck now.
I tried to install, remove and install again the x264 library, to use the
codec CODEC_ID_H264, then configure ffmpeg with --enable-libx264 and
make+make install it. It just added linking troubles to my program, and
when it executed again it displayed the same error "codec not found".
I tried to install libraries with gpk-application interface, yum and
compile them myself.

I followed steps described here :
http://maczulu.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/ffmpeg-install-with-libx264-h264-on.html
I think that my program use libraries located in /usr/local/, such as
ffmpeg, avcodec and x264.

I installed common codecs and I can read a .mp4 video using h264 codec
with VLC.

If you have any idea how I can find the solution please help me.

Thanks
Yannis
