You can enable support for those codecs with additional arguments to
configure:

External codec library options (used for mythffmpeg and streaming
transcode):
--enable-libmp3lame enable MP3 encoding via libmp3lame [no]
--enable-libx264 enable H.264 encoding via x264 [no]
--enable-libx265 enable H.265 encoding via x265 [no]
--enable-libvpx enable VP8 encoding via libvpx [no]
--enable-libxvid enable Xvid encoding via xvidcore,
native MPEG-4/Xvid encoder exists [no]

The failure of mythtranscode on h264 content is not related
to these extra codecs.

Support for (lossless) transcode of h264 content, still need
to be written.
