Re: mencoder missing xvid and lame options

Hi,

some more details I found out. The mencoder binary itself seems ok, and is
linked against all libraries you would expect (including xvidcore and
mp3lame):

/usr/pkg/bin/mencoder:
        -lterminfo.1 => /usr/lib/libterminfo.so.1

        -ldvdnav.4 => /usr/pkg/lib/libdvdnav.so.4

But nevertheless the codecs are not available:

$ mencoder -ovc help
MEncoder 1.4-7.4.0 (C) 2000-2019 MPlayer Team

Available codecs:
   copy     - frame copy, without re-encoding. Doesn't work with filters.
   frameno  - special audio-only file for 3-pass encoding, see DOCS.
   raw      - uncompressed video. Use fourcc option to set format explicitly.
   lavc     - libavcodec codecs - best quality!

$ mencoder -oac help
MEncoder 1.4-7.4.0 (C) 2000-2019 MPlayer Team

Available codecs:
   copy     - frame copy, without re-encoding (useful for AC3)
   pcm      - uncompressed PCM audio
   lavc     - FFmpeg audio encoder (MP2, AC3, ...)

This is running from pkgsrc2019Q2 on NetBSD/amd64 8.99.50.


I have mplayer/mencoder 1.1 on a second NetBSD system, built from an
older pkgserc, which works fine. Example for video codecs:
$ mencoder -ovc help
MEncoder 1.1-4.5.3 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team

Available codecs:
   copy     - frame copy, without re-encoding. Doesn't work with filters.
   frameno  - special audio-only file for 3-pass encoding, see DOCS.
   raw      - uncompressed video. Use fourcc option to set format explicitly.
   lavc     - libavcodec codecs - best quality!
   libdv    - DV encoding with libdv v0.9.5
   xvid     - XviD encoding
   x264     - H.264 encoding


Is this a bug in the mencoder package or am I missing something? I found
no further instructions on how to activate missing codecs.
