[Linphone-developers] ffmpeg vs. x264 vs. MAX_SLICES

[Jim Diamond]

Hi all,

(I sent a subset of this question a few days ago, no response yet, so
I thought I'd expand it a bit.)

linphone-3 (3.2.1) is spitting out messages like

[h264 @ 0x824245c]Too many slices, increase MAX_SLICES and recompile

The only place I found that error message was in ffmpeg (I am using
ffmpeg-0.5).

However, some other messages on this list seem to indicate that maybe
I should be using the code from the x264 package.

Can some enlighten me on any/all of the following points?

(1) Am I compiling things incorrectly so that I am getting the wrong
    x264 code?
    1a) if so, can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or point me
        in the direction of the compiling instructions that make sure
        I do The Right Thing?
(2) If using the code from ffmpeg is the right thing to be doing, has
    anyone increased MAX_SLICES and created a working system?
(3) And if so, can anyone recommend a particular value that will make
    linphone's use of ffmpeg happy?

Thanks.
                                Jim
