I put ffmpeg from sorts and libx264 from sorts too, everything is kosher.
I'm trying to convert a file:

ffmpeg -y -i House.M.D.s08e03.rus.LostFilm.avi -acodec libfaac -ac 2 -ab 96k -ar 44100 -vcodec libx264 -vpre /root/ffmpeg/ffpresets/libx264-normal.ffpreset -g 100 -keyint_min 50 -b 300k -bt 300k -threads 2 house-q1.mp4

I get:

Well, that is, if you specify it simply -vpre normaldoes not find it either. But then I gave him the file.
Anyone can help?

you must do -fpre for the full path, or -vpre to search in one of the preset paths.
But you don't have to do all this anymore, because ffmpeg has abandoned its presets in favor of libx264 presets

And why did you build it, and not install it from the repository?
apt-get ffmpeg - or something like that

/root/ffmpeg/ffpresets/libx264-normal.ffpreset

Are you doing this from root? Do not do it this way.
And about -vpre, we would look at the help:
-vpre preset set the video options to the indicated preset
I.e. you need to create this file and put the required video settings there.

On Windows builds, this also happened: I could not find presets and gave out corrupted x264.
After some time I updated, everything worked.

There is an option to explicitly specify the preset file, this may help without solving this problem.

Can you explain why you don't include ffmpeg's own presets (which are in /usr/share/ffmpeg/)?
Or did you install it somehow crookedly?
