MPlayer 1.0rc2_2 Missing x264 support

[akborder@…]

Problem description

I have installed MPlayer using the x264 variant, but the H.264 codec is not supported by the resulting mencoder executable.

Steps to reproduce

$ sudo port install mplayer +macosx +x264
$ mencoder -ovc help

The last command prints the list of all the supported codecs. On my system, it reads:

Available codecs:
   copy     - frame copy, without re-encoding. Doesn't work with filters.
   frameno  - special audio-only file for 3-pass encoding, see DOCS.
   raw      - uncompressed video. Use fourcc option to set format explicitly.
   lavc     - libavcodec codecs - best quality!
   vfw      - VfW DLLs, read DOCS/HTML/en/encoding-guide.html.
   qtvideo  - QuickTime DLLs, currently only SVQ1/3 are supported

It should also contain the line:

x264      - H.264 encoding
