FFmpeg: Unrecognized option preset

Question

I'm using ffmpeg to convert yuv to mp4 losslesly in ubuntu 14.04.

My code is (without line splitting):

ffmpeg -f rawvideo -vcodec rawvideo -s 560x448 -r 40 -pix_fmt yuv420p -i 
C_L_560x448_40_realtime_maxSSIM.yuv -c:v libx265 -preset ultrafast -qp 0 
realtimeC_L_560x448_40_realtime_maxSSIM.mp4

I get

Unrecognized option 'preset'.
Error splitting the argument list: Option not found

This is the full console output:

ffmpeg version N-80953-gd4c8e93 Copyright (c) 2000-2016 the FFmpeg developers

  libswresample   2.  1.100 /  2.  1.100
Unrecognized option 'preset'.

Do you know how to fix this?

Solution

For me this meant I had run configure with --disable-everything and enabled libx264, but not enabled its "encoder" so this fixed it up: --enable-libx264 --enable-encoder=libx264

Something like this:

ffmpeg $ ./configure --disable-everything --enable-libx264 --enable-encoder=libx264

You might be able to get away with just --enable-libx264

Which version of ffmpeg do you have? Show the console output.

@Mulvya I added it right now.

You don't have libx265 (or any 3rd party encoders) linked. Get a binary from johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg

I just want to add, using -qp 0 isn't the way to do lossless encoding with libx265 (unlike libx264). Instead you need to add in -x265-params lossless=1

could you ass the complete cmd? As the answer of the question
