Description

I am trying to use preset of libx264 supplied with ffmpeg, but faild due to error message:

-- skipped --
[libx264 @ 0x9ae5b60] bad value for 'weightp':
-- skipped --

adding option wpredp to libx264-default.ffpreset
[...]
wpredp=2
[...]
does not solve a problem...

full ffmpeg output:

FFmpeg can directly access the libx264 presets instead of emulating them with a text file (these files have been removed), so in most cases you should be using -preset instead of -vpre. To modify any options the preset sets, or to add additional options, you can use -x264opts such as:

ffmpeg -i input -vcodec libx264 -preset medium -x264opts weightp=1 -threads 0 output

Unrelated side note: --enable-pthreads --enable-bzlib --enable-zlib are detected automatically, so you don't need these in your configure.
