Missing x264enc?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It seems that the element x264enc is missing, which is strange since the x264 
library is included with the source.

At the minute I'm using decodebin as a temporary replacement but it adds an 
unnecessary overhead since it needs to use typefind to find a solution for the 
video. 

Using decodebin the debug file doesn't report using x264enc either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

x264enc is included with the GPL distribution. Because of its license, it 
cannot be included in the LGPL distribution.

I don't really understand how you are replacing the x264 encoder with decodebin 
as a decoder?

Sorry I am dealing with x264dec, no idea why I typed enc I'm not dealing with 
x264enc in my code at all.

Is there any other decoder that is included with the LPGL distro that would 
work? 

Thanks again.

Oh I forgot to mention I was using ffdec_h264 but I was getting a fairly large 
amount of artefacting, which is why I was looking into x264dec. The only thing 
that seems to help it was to add a parser before the decoder.

As far as I know, there does not exist such a thing as x264dec. libx264 is an 
encoding library.

The only h264 decoder in gstreamer-0.10 is ffdec_h264 (well, you might be able 
to use Windows' DirectShow decoders also). If you get artifacts, they are 
either in the source material or the decoder is fed data in some wrong format.
