Many thanks for the input. Turns out a newer version of nasm was required for the build of the x265 (v2.6 +) default branch.
Once that was installed the compilation included the CPU links. Encode times are back to normal (well x2 on my iMac). James _______________________________________________ Libav-user mailing list Libav-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-user
