ffmpeg ubuntu 18.04 中未启用 libx264 codex

Question

I have some weird codex installation issues with the following docker image.

ARG PYTORCH="1.8.0"
ARG CUDA="11.1"
ARG CUDNN="8"
FROM pytorch/pytorch:${PYTORCH}-cuda${CUDA}-cudnn${CUDNN}-devel

ENV TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST="6.0 6.1 7.0 8.0+PTX"
ENV TORCH_NVCC_FLAGS="-Xfatbin -compress-all"
ENV CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$(dirname $(which conda))/../"

First of all, libx264 is supposed to be installed by a simple apt-get install ffmpeg in ubuntu 18.04.5. Indeed I see that it is being installed in the installation instructions but for some reason, it's not enabled. This is confirmed when running ffmpeg -codecs | grep 264 ffmpeg -codecs | grep 264 , which doesn't show libx264 (only h264, libopenh264 are there).

In addition, I also compiled from source , explicitly enabling libx264 during installation. It didn't make a difference.

The problem was that I also had ffmpeg installed with conda . So:

conda remove --force ffmpeg -y

apt-get update && apt-get install -y ffmpeg
