Compiling x264 with mp4 support
Solution 1
There is no --enable-mp4-output
option. MP4 support is automatically detected, but l-smash or gpac are required.
For a script that might compile x264 see HOWTO: x264.
For another example see Compiling X264 on Ubuntu.
Also see the FFmpeg and x264 Encoding Guide.
Solution 2
You can install x264 with mp4 output support on macOS with brew:
brew install x264 --with-l-smash

I need
x264
for my project.
I have one at/opt/local/bin/x264
, but when I execute the following command:x264 --qpfile cuepoints.qp --output output.mp4 input.mp4
it says:
x264 [error]: not compiled with MP4 output support
I decided to compile
x264
from the source. I downloaded the source from http://www.videolan.org/ (git://git.videolan.org/x264.git).
Now I do:cd x264 ./configure --enable-mp4-output
And x264 says:
Unknown option --enable-mp4-output, ignored
And indeed, if I open
configure
file, there is no such option.Finally, I could find compiled x264 with mp4 support (see here), but it is 3 years old and I need one more for Windows.
Do you know if
x264
have dropped mp4 support, or I need to use a different option to compile it?-
Admin about 11 yearson a mobile device currently so can't properly check but from memory you need to download and compile GPAC then copy output into the x264 git folder before compiling in order to enable mp4. Doom9 / Doom10 forums might be a better place to look for specifics on the topic

Warning: x264: this formula has no --with-l-smash option so it will be ignored!
