Description Kearn Kelley 2009-03-05 03:39:39 CET

In the 64bit version, when I try to use lameopts for audio converting, mencoder comes back with 

MPlayer was compiled without libmp3lame support.
-lameopts is not an MEncoder option

even though I have lame-libs installed, which is what gives mplayer/mencoder the libmp3lame support, correct?

Here's the command I'm using that works under a 32bit version.

mencoder Fearless.vob -aid 129 -vf pullup,softskip,crop=704:368 -ffourcc DX50 -ovc lavc -ofps 24000/1001 -lavcopts vbitrate=1037500:vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:trell:v4mv:last_pred=2:dia=-1:vmax_b_frames=2:vb_strategy=1:cmp=3:subcmp=3:precmp=0:vqcomp=0.6:turbo -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=128 -o Fearless.avi

Confirmed. Somehow lame wasn't detected during the build. I'll fix this ASAP.

I am experiencing the same problem with mencoder as well.

Comment 3 Haakon Riiser 2009-03-17 21:58:59 CET

It's easy to fix it, though:

$ yumdownloader --source mplayer
$ rpmbuild --rebuild mplayer

The mencoder RPM produced by this works perfectly with -oac mp3lame.  Weird that such a simple (but annoying) bug isn't fixed already. :-/

You learn something new every day.  I was not aware that it was that easy to rebuild a package.  Thank you.  :)

No problem.  A little FYI: You may need to install some dependencies before this will work (yum-utils for yumdownloader, rpm-build for rpmbuild, and probably a lot of -devel packages for mencoder).  The rpmbuild --rebuild command also needs the full filename of the source RPM, not just "mplayer" like I wrote.

Hopefully still considered easy. :)

Bump

Please fix this.  mencoder conversion scripts no longer work with this.  All it requires is removing the one --disable line in the .spec file and rebuilding.  The lame-devel dependency is already included!  (that is what provide libmp3lame).

This is very annoying bug and so easy to fix, so why not fix?  Why intentionally disable mp3lame?

This is a very annoying issue. Please fix it.

As a temporary workaround, recompiling the source RPM solved the problem.
(I did not have to modify anything in the mplayer.spec file)

bump?  This is an easy fix!  Please fix!

Comment 10 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2010-04-25 18:58:35 CEST

Should be fixed. F-11 builds are not ready due to some build system issues, but the rest is done.
