Hi, I'm wondering if this is something I should file as a bug.

(Version 1.1.4 on i686 Arch Linux.)

Using the ffmpeg export module without a codec command gives:

[export_ffmpeg.so]
You must chose a codec by supplying '-F <codecname>'. A list of
supported codecs can be obtained with 'transcode -y ffmpeg -F list'.
[encoder.c] warning: video export module error: init failed
[transcode] critical: failed to init encoder

and the following command:

transcode -y ffmpeg -F list

for some reason returns:

[transcode] critical: no input sources avalaible

so, when putting an input source into the command:

transcode -i input.avi -y ffmpeg -F list

i get:

[encoder.c] warning: video export module error: init failed
[transcode] critical: failed to init encoder
