Add mp4 output on x264 compile

[naoto89]

First, I want to apologize if you don't understand what I say, English is not my language.

Second, I looking everywhere for info about to add mp4 output support on x264. I have tried like this, this, this, or this, but nothing works, some guides are very old or are not show detailed process.

Supposedly, when it run ./configure in MinGW, GPAC (which I also have installed on PC) or Lsmash are automatically detected when the source code files are in the workplace, but on prompt it keeps say "mp4: no".

What exactly should I do?

Why compile by yourself?
For simple mp4 support you could use a FFmpeg static build (for Windows: https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/) and a Gui, g.e. my clever FFmpeg-GUI.

[_Al_]

I suppose you know about doing basics and encoding *.264 then muxing it in mp4. If yes , just disregard this. mp4box-gpac you can install this way:

sudo apt-get install subversion
sudo svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gpac/code/trunk/gpac gpac
cd gpac
sudo /configure --disable-opengl --use-js=no --use-ft=no --use-jpeg=no --use-png=no --use-faad=no --use-mad=no --use-xvid=no --use-ffmpeg=no --use-ogg=no --use-vorbis=no --use-theora=no –use-openjpeg=no
sudo make
sudo make install
cp bin/gcc/libgpac.so /usr/lib

Although it's something any mortal would do, the thing is I want to build an x264 bin (from VideoLan source code) with mp4 output support because official releases have it disabled by default. Even if FFmpeg is very complete, I don't want to use it for my H264 encodes. Also I try to learn something different and I don't know.

sudo make
sudo make install
cp bin/gcc/libgpac.so /usr/lib

This is not clear to me. Do all of that, is the same as doing it using "git clone https://github.com/gpac/gpac.git" before run ./configure and make? Or are the specific files needed for x264 to detect GPAC before run ./configure and make? BTW, I forgot to mention that I use MinGW and trying to do it from WIndows 10, although I have a VM with Ubuntu, I'm not sure if it's possible to cross-compile x264 for Windows.

Supposedly, when it run ./configure in MinGW, GPAC (which I also have installed on PC) or Lsmash are automatically detected when the source code files are in the workplace, but on prompt it keeps say "mp4: no".

What exactly should I do?

"Zeroth" of all: I recommend that you DO NOT USE gpac because it's bloatware, but I cannot stop you from using it anyway

GPAC (which I also have installed on PC) or Lsmash are automatically detected when the source code files are in the workplace

I presume you mean you do have compiled (and "installed") GPAC or L-Smash, instead of just having "their source-code in the workplace"

And in this case, you should "say" to x264's ./configure the exact paths to L-Smash's include files + lib files
—otherwise ./configure will ignore your instruction to add an MP4 muxer to the final. EXE.

So, give a try to something like this:

./configure --blah-blah-blah CPPFLAGS="-I/path-to-L-Smash/include" LDFLAGS="-L/path-to-L-Smash/lib" --blah-blah-blah
make

NOTICE: I have never tried to compile x264.exe with anything besides Avisynth support,
because I don't even use the built-in MKV and FLV muxers of x264,
so take this suggestion with a grain of salt and play at your own risk

About that of "installed" I meant that I downloaded the latest GPAC installer and after added "C:\Program Files (x86)\GPAC" to PATH (or it says in this guide). I also downloaded the source code but it's in workplace where I try to compile with x264. In any case, I tried to do it both ways but I never knew what the error was. In the case of L-Smash, I just downloaded the source code but I didn't know how to call the files and I couldn't find a guide about it (and even if there are guides, surely the language is Russian, Chinese or Japanese).

Ok, I tried to compile with L-Smash following the example above and detects it, but now the problem is an error and it can't compile.

This one has just worked for me:

(after compiling L-Smash (64-bits), bien entendu)

./configure --host=x86_64-pc-mingw32 --enable-static --disable-opencl --bit-depth=all --enable-strip --disable-swscale --disable-lavf --disable-ffms --disable-gpac --extra-cflags="-I./z/include" --extra-ldflags="-L./z/lib"

make

— with "z" = a subdirectory of the x264 source-code directory, containing "include/lsmash.h", "lib/liblsmash.a" and "lib/pkgconfig/liblsmash.pc" —

Final result:

=> x264 --help
x264 core:161 r3015 4c2aafd
Syntax: x264 [options] -o outfile infile

Infile can be raw (in which case resolution is required),
or YUV4MPEG (*.y4m),
or Avisynth if compiled with support (yes).
or libav* formats if compiled with lavf support (no) or ffms support (no).
Outfile type is selected by filename:
.264 -> Raw bytestream
.mkv -> Matroska
.flv -> Flash Video
.mp4 -> MP4 if compiled with GPAC or L-SMASH support (lsmash)
Output bit depth: 8/10

But if you want a 32-bit executable, you'll need a 32-bit L-Smash library and then use --host=i686-pc-mingw32 in x264's ./configure.

Hope this helps

BTW, why does the compiled have less file size than the official release build?

[Selur]

No clue which releases count as official.
Wild guess: at least lavf and ffms are usually included, sometimes even opencl support.

[naoto89]

Rather I mean those of VideoLan for example.

Ok, it looks like I got the build, but I'm curious about those other errors it seems ignored them.

Well, I have no idea of why you got those error messages

For what it's worth... I don't use Windows 10 and my MSYS2 setup doesn't use the GCC stuff provided by the MSYS2 servers (through pacman.exe),
my GCC package is Windows-threaded and it is built through the script(s) written by Zeranoe and modified by nevcairiel.

EDIT:

presuming your GCC is posix-threaded, try adding the option --disable-win32thread and see if this makes some difference...

Those are build with: lavf, lsmash and opencl

I think begin to understand.

I also understand the reason why it doesn't recommend compile with GPAC, but it doesn't hurt to learn that too. I built the gpac static lib and added --extra-cflags="-I../gpac/tmpbuild/include/gpac" --extra-ldflags="-L../gpac/tmpbuild/lib" --extra-ldflags="-L../gpac/bin/gcc" to ./configure line but for some reason x264 says "mp4: no".

[Selur]

No clue.
I usually use MBAS (https://github.com/m-ab-s/media-autobuild_suite) to build x264 and other tools, you might want to take a look at their build scripts.

In the Last year i tried to use that but always show errors and wasted time.

Going back to the topic, x264's config.log file says one of the errors that GPAC undetectable is because it can't find "gpac/tmpbuild/include/gpac/isomedia.h". I don't understand how that file could not be generated if apparently my GPAC build didn't show errors. Newer GPAC versions no longer generate that file or what?

EDIT:
I already know how to get GPAC to be detected, also in the most recent versions of x264 source code you can compile it with the most current version of GPAC. Just copy the GPAC header to x264 using "cp -R ../gpac/tmpbuild/include/gpac ." before going to ./configure line.

Just one more doubt. How do I compile with libav or lavf?

[El Heggunte]

@naoto69: congrats for finding out how to include GPAC's muxer (mp4box) in x264.

I also understand the reason why one doesn't recommend compile with GPAC, but it doesn't hurt to learn that too.

Well, as I said before, GPAC is bloatware, takes ages to compile, it contains much more than MP4Box, etc., whereas L-Smash is just and only an MP4 muxing library, therefore...
Also, GPAC is a project maintained by Linux zealots/TROLLS — therefore...

Why the x264 devs still haven't included an MP4 muxer in their source-code is beyond me
Why having "native" Matroska and FLV muxers is okay but a "native" MP4 muxer is not?

Just one more doubt. How do I compile with ffms or lavf?

Hope someone who knows more than I do will chime in

[naoto89]

Based on what I read, FFmpeg must be compiled for load "libavformat" and even "swscale" on x264.

I thought just putting that "--extra-cflags=-I../ffmpeg/tmpbuild/include --extra-ldflags=-L../ffmpeg/tmpbuild/lib" was enough, but it seems not.

EDIT:
When compile FFmpeg with

./configure --prefix=tmpbuild --disable-network --disable-debug --disable-yasm --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-static --extra-cflags=-I./tmpbuild/include --extra-ldflags='-L./tmpbuild/lib -static' --extra-cflags=-I../x264/tmpbuild/include --extra-ldflags=-L../x264/tmpbuild/lib && make && make install

This message appears in yellow.

WARNING: using libx264 without pkg-config

But if I add "--enable-shared" to ./configure line, this error appears.

I looked for some solution, but it's not related to this. I feel like 2 errors but I have no idea what cause is or what I did wrong.
