Re: configure: ffmpeg troubles

Greetings all.

--Vini -- thanks for your help. Indeed there was a path problem with
libavformat which is fixed with the configure arguement options.

So, everything then configured and compiled correctly using the dev
packages. HOWEVER,
-y ffmpeg, null -F mpeg4 options first didn't work because ffmpeg didn't
work with the xvid mpeg4. I went to here:

http://www.debian-multimedia.org

to get ffmpeg debian packages as well as xvidcore, xvidcore-dev packages. I
added --enable-xvid. I then make clean; make; sudo make install once again
and everything works as before EXCEPT I do notice that the CPU usage seems
higher with same transcode command.

*Might* this be due to using the deb packages or ?

thanks all!

Ted
