OPAL: problem with h.263 plugin codec

Thank you, Ben.

 

We've solved the problem. We put libavcodec.dll in the executable (simpleopal) folder, and everything works fine! This seems to be different in OPAL and OpenH323. When we use OpenH323 libavcodec.dll must be in the plugin directory.

 

Best regards,

Compilation notes
-----------------

Craig Southeren 4 October 2006


The ffmpeg library headers and a compiled version of the ffmpeg shared
library
are required to use this codec plugin. These can be found at

Linux
 &nbsp;http://www.voxgratia.org/bin/libavcodec-0.4.7-linux.bin.tar.gz

Windows
&nbsp;  http://www.voxgratia.org/bin/libavcodec-0.4.7-windows.bin.zip

Put the contents of the correct archive file into a subdirectory called
ffmpeg. The makefile should detect this and correctly compile the plugin

Note that the libavcodec.so or libavcodec.dll file must be put into the same
directory as the rest of the plugins. Failure to do this will cause the
plugin
to be inoperable.

If you insist on compiling ffmpeg from source, then read the instructions at
http://www.voxgratia.org/docs/h263_codec.html

Cheers,

Ben.
