I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS x64. I've been using ffmpeg on this machine to encode H.264 videos with AAC audio for over a year.
There was an update to the ffmpeg packages this week that seems to have broken the AAC encoder.
The command I'm using:
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -y -i '/tmp/original.mov' -acodec libfaac -ar 44100 -ab 128k -vcodec libx264 -level 41 -crf 25 -r 25 -s '1280'x'720' -bufsize 250000k -maxrate 2500k -vpre lossless_slower '/tmp/converted.mp4'
Conversion fails with this error:
Unknown encoder 'libfaac'
Output of ffmpeg -v

ffmpeg: missing argument for option '-v'

Codecs:

The E
for encoding is missing.
I already had libfaac-dev
and libfaac0
installed, and installed faac
after the fact to see if that would help. No dice.
Suggestions? I welcome any advice. Thank you.
