ffmpeg x11 screen grabbing[solved]

[Adel Ahmed]

I'm trying to record my screen using ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -f x11grab -s cif -r 25 -i :0.0 /tmp/out.mpg
I get :
Encoder (codec none) not found for output stream #0:0

Try to rebuild ffmpeg with 'encode' USE flag enabled. You have it disabled, so, may be it causes a problem.
