Description

Hi, could you guys please put out a note on how to compile ffmpeg with libx264 for video encoding? FFMPEGInterop currently gives decoding feature. I would like to integrate encoding into it. But the WinRT component I built is not able to find the H264 encoder. I am new to the ffmpeg altogether. I followed this link http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/How%20to%20quickly%20compile%20FFmpeg%20with%20libx264%20(x264%2C%20H.264) on how to compile x264. But the MSYS is throwing error "could not identify OS" . But FFMPEG is compiling fine. I am using Windows 10 x64.

Research direction

Start with the linked FFmpeg/libx264 compilation guide and reproduce the MSYS "could not identify OS" error on Windows 10 x64. Document the supported build steps and explain how FFMPEGInterop's decoding setup relates to enabling H.264 encoding; the work is done when a Windows user can follow the note and locate the encoder.
