[MEncoder-users] x264 encoder broken?

[Fredrik Eriksson]

Hello.

For the last few days I havn't been able to encode to x264. Even the  
simpliest command fails:

$ mencoder-cvs -of rawvideo -v dvd://1 -ovc x264 -oac copy -o /dev/null

The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.
Try adding the scale filter, e.g. -vf spp,scale instead of -vf spp.

I have revision 564 of x264. Known problem, or just my problem?
