[FFmpeg-user] libx264 - unknown decoder,

Hi all,

I am recording a webcam using ffmpeg (ideally to replace mencoder) on 
archlinux (the latest package has been updated on 7th of June) and when 
running the following command I run into the "Unknown decoder 'libx264'"

But as you can see from the error ffmpeg has been build with the 
--enable-libx264 options.

Any suggestions?

Looking forward for your reply,

Regards,

$ ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -vcodec libx264 -b 3000k -r 15 -crf 16 -pix_fmt 
yuv420p -i /dev/video0 out.avi
