I compiled https://github.com/cisco/openh264 must use version *1.3*
#cd openh264
#git checkout v1.3
#make ENABLE64BIT=Yes # Use ENABLE64BIT=No for 32bit platforms
#make install
#cd ffmpeg
#export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/openh264
#./configure --enable-gpl --enable-libopenh264
#make
#make install
#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/bin
#./ffmpeg -f v4l2 -framerate 28 -video_size 640x480 -i /dev/video0 -b:v
500000 -vcodec h264 output.mkv
*Pixelation is much better!!*
*How do I set the library path permanently??* (Please show examples)
*How can I have motion use the **h264 codec??* (Please show examples*)*
