</div>Ok, talking to myself here... Just in case anyone else had this same<br>
issue. I'm using Debian Stable (Squeeze). The ffmpeg in Debian<br>
Multimedia does not have a 'hq' preset. In the script I changed the<br>
'hq' callout to 'slow' and it's working. Here is my list of potential<br>
presets:<br>
<br>
htpc:/home/mythtv# find /usr -iname '*.ffpreset'<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-medium.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-lossless_slower.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-ipod640.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-fast_firstpass.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-faster.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-veryfast.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-medium_firstpass.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-slower_firstpass.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-superfast_firstpass.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-veryslow.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-fast.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-lossless_fast.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-ipod320.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-placebo_firstpass.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-baseline.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-superfast.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-slow.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-veryslow_firstpass.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-veryfast_firstpass.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-lossless_slow.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-slow_firstpass.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-main.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-lossless_max.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-slower.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-placebo.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-lossless_medium.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-ultrafast.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-lossless_ultrafast.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-faster_firstpass.ffpreset<br>
/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-ultrafast_firstpass.ffpreset<br>
<br>
At this point I'm not sure the differnce between them but I picked<br>
slow just to test. I've not watched the resulting file but it seems<br>
to be working now.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>I think the different distros ship with different presets. Fedora used to ship an HQ preset, so it still exists on my box. "Slow" and "main" also run fine for me. The differences only really matter if you are trying to tune the file to a specific decoder (like ps3 or android) that may not support some x264 flags.<br>
<br>I build my own ffmpeg with libx264 and libfaac from git. There are tutorials all over the net on how to re-package from git to .deb or .rpm for your distro of choice.<br>
