实际上只是一个头文件h264_util.h。h264_util.h封装了x264库。我做的工作就是使用模板封装了一下，保证使用任何mp4 container库都可以方便地输出mp4文件。使用模板的目的是为了避免任何回调的开销。
h264_util.h依赖于x264库。
main.cpp依赖于h264_util.h和libmp42（可选）和libmp4av（可选），后两者都是mpeg4ip的一部分。使用的mpeg4ip是为了生成Quicktime7可播放的mp4文件（相信我，这点很难的，我试了很多库了。原因不是这些库不好，而是QT7太糟糕）。
附带说明一下，所用到的库和我写的代码都是可以同时在window下和linux编译运行的（我已经都试过了）。要在windows下编译x264很简单的，参考说明文档就可以。麻烦的是mpeg4ip，其文档声称不再会对windows下的兼容性负责了。要在windows下编译并使用mpeg4ip,有两个办法，或者自己提供gettimeofday的定义，或者使用其libmissing（和libmissing60是一回事，60表示vs6下编译通过，实际上我用vc7也编译运行过了）。
如果同时使用x264和mpeg4ip，又会发现一些兼容性问题。问题的关键在于windows操作下默认没有提供int8_t之类的类型定义，于是mpeg4ip会自己提供一个mpeg4ip_version.h，补上这些定义。所有的跨平台的开源项目似乎都会自说自话地为windows平台（linux下有标准头文件）提供这些定义，如果我同时使用两个这样的开源项目，就可能会产生类型重复定义的编译错误。x264是个特例，它的libx264根本就没有提供这些定义，所以我在h264_util.h补上了这些定义。又由于这些类型定义可能和mpeg4ip_version.h中的定义冲突，所以我在h264_util.h中预先加入了判断避免冲突的宏。要这些宏起作用，mpeg4ip的头文件必须先被#include于我的h264_util.h之前。
要编译x264,必须安装nasm（一种汇编语言编译器），mpeg4ip如果是只编译上文中的两个库的话，不需要，否则也需要nasm。
下面就是源代码，包括两个源代码文件，h264_util.h和main.cpp和一个makefile（仅用于linux），GNUmakefile。
h264_util.h封装了x264，main.cpp提供了两个测试例子，一个仅使用h264_util.h演示了如何进行视频编码，另一个测试例子说明了如何生成mp4。test_h264_utilities是在内存中快速生成rgb888的raw image的工具，仅仅是为了我测试方便用，你完全可以不使用它。
使用方法很简单（仅限于于linux，windows下懒得写了），安装libx264,libmp4ip,libmp4v2(./configure;make;make install总会吧？mpeg4ip安装完整的软件包也许会有问题，但是安装库是没问题的（先在源代码包的根目录下./configure，然后还是在对应的库代码的目录里make;make install），把下述三个文件拷贝到同一个目录里，然后make clean;make;./test_main,就会生成一个叫test.mp4的文件。
