[Libav-user] Request for Help - Error - h264_v4l2m2m @ 0x114ac00] Could not find a valid device

[Richard Hussong]

I think you want the "libx264" encoder. To use it, you need to install
libx264, and your libav libraries need to have been built with the
"enable-libx264" flag. It is enabled by default in most distributions, I
think. The libx264 encoder has a lot of options; you should probably just
pick one of its presets and use that. The accepted answer to this old post
shows how you can do that using av_dict_set():
