Hi,

I have some questions about compiling H.264 plugin using Visual Studio 2010.

Based on the instruction from the ReadMe file, I suppose to compile FFMPEG and X264 using MinGW, but I have been trying to avoid this step. Instead, I am trying to use the DLL I can find online at http://mediatools.cs.ucl.ac.uk/nets/mme ... geset/3937. So my first question, will those DLLs work for the H.264 plugin?

My second question is regarding 'plugin-config.h' file. When I compile the plugin code in VS, there is an error that it cannot include 'plugin-config.h'. I searched the directories of H323plus, but I cannot find that file. I find 'plugin-config.h.in' instead. Is there any step that I need to do to generate the 'plugin-config.h' file?

Thanks for any reply.

You should redirect technical questions to the h323plus mailing list.

Compiling the X264 on windows is a real pain.
You can use this precompiled version.

Extract into the same directory as your application.

Hi Simon,

Thank you for the dlls. That will be the life saver.
Can you post or send me the header files, such as libavcodec\avcodec.h, x264.h, etc? Thanks.

Hi Simon,

I have downloaded the plugin from the URL you gave and placed them under c:\ptlib_plugin directory. But when I don't see H.264 codec is loaded in the sample application simple.exe. Is there some configuration that I must do? Please help. Thank you.

Put all the files in the same directory as your application.
otherwise in the c:\ptlib_plugins directory.
You can select other directories by setting the PTLIBPLUGINDIR environmental variable.

If you want header info etc get them from the X264 and FFMPEG websites.
