title: ffmpeg not finding vcodec libx264
body: <p>I've installed the latest ffmpeg but it seems unable to locate the video codecs. Do I need to completeley remove ffmpeg and re run the <code>./configure</code> differently in order for ffmpeg to find the video codecs?</p>
  
  <p>Here's my current configuration: </p>
  
  <p><code>FFmpeg version git-f61cbc2, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the FFmpeg developers
    built on Jan 18 2011 10:59:49 with gcc 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)
    configuration: --enable-libmp3lame --enable-shared --disable-mmx --arch=x86_64
    libavutil     50.36. 0 / 50.36. 0
    libavcore      0.16. 1 /  0.16. 1
    libavcodec    52.108. 0 / 52.108. 0
    libavformat   52.94. 0 / 52.94. 0
    libavdevice   52. 2. 3 / 52. 2. 3
    libavfilter    1.74. 0 /  1.74. 0
    libswscale     0.12. 0 /  0.12. 0</code></p>
  
  <p>Or, can I just re-run the make command to include the library?</p>
  
  <p>Here's my snippet for transcoding:</p>
  
  <p><code>ffmpeg -i ~/Desktop/watercarts.mov -vcodec libx264 -b 250k -bt 50k -acodec libfaac -ab 56k -ac 2 -s 480x320 ~/Desktop/watercartsipod.mp4</code></p>
  
  <p>And the error:</p>
  
  <p><code>Unknown encoder 'libx264'</code></p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
