[Libav-user] FFmpeg transcoding example with h264 preset error

[Sethuraman V]

Hi,

I am using transcoding example provided with FFmpeg to apply a filter to a
h264 codec file.

I have set the preset before opening the codec as given below

if (dec_ctx->codec_id == AV_CODEC_ID_H264) {
    av_opt_set(dec_ctx->priv_data, "preset", "slow", 0);
}

But still avcodec_open2 returns "broken ffmpeg default settings" error.
What I need to set to avoid preset error?

Following is the terminal output when I execute the file.

./transcoding timecode.mp4 output.mp4
