FFmpeg: Unrecognized option preset

Solution 1:

For me this meant I had run configure with --disable-everything and enabled libx264, but not enabled its "encoder" so this fixed it up: --enable-libx264 --enable-encoder=libx264

Something like this:

ffmpeg $ ./configure --disable-everything --enable-libx264 --enable-encoder=libx264

You might be able to get away with just --enable-libx264
