I've been using 3.4.2 ffmpeg for a while, successfully encoding video to mpeg4. I've just upgraded to 3.4.5 and, despite building ffmpeg (Windows, msvc2017 toolchain, MinGW) with exactly the same configure options, mpeg4 and 18 other encoders seem to have disappeared.</div>

Surely enabling libx264 should only add to the encoder list, it shouldn't disable other encoders?</div>

I'm still stumbling about exploring options here (tried 3.4.7, it's the same), but if there is a change anybody is aware of, any advice would be appreciated.</div>
