If you are using ffmpeg directly via the libraries, I strongly
recommend bypassing its horrendous API and using libx264 directly
instead.  You will find it much simpler.

No, it most definitely has those.  Look harder.

> I have built the x264 library(snapshot-20090419) for ffmpeg(20090320) with the same method ,and in that library it has no "broken ffmpeg setting error" "mv cost test failed" and can open the x264 encoder but the x264 can not support the arm with datatype misalignment error. So I built the new version.

That doesn't mean the problems weren't there, it just means the checks
for the problems weren't there.  Getting rid of the check doesn't get
rid of the problem, it just hides it.

Yes, you can do this when you configure x264.
